Wild Bear Cubs Play on Swing

Occurred on April 17, 2021 / Asheville, North Carolina, USA

Info from Licensor: "Three wild black bear cubs playfully fighting over a swing they discovered on my property. Mama Bear relaxes and looks on as her cubs play. This little playground was installed a week prior to these wild bears discovering it in the spring of 2021. These wild bears regularly pass through this property just outside of Asheville, North Carolina in Buncombe County. Not only is this footage fun to watch, it begs the question: Have these cubs encountered a swing before, or was this a genuine moment of discovery, an "ah-ha moment"? The swing was meant to be used by human children, but these juvenile black bears are welcome to enjoy it too, as it is installed a safe distance from the homestead."
