Yeah, I know, the web has been buzzing with this swimming bear family today. I enjoyed watching them frolic, they are so curious and have a lot of energy. I’m glad the pool owners’ shared their video (though to be honest, I highly recommend muting it so you don’t have to listen to the kids).
Towards the end it seems like Momma Bear just wants some time alone. With 5 cubs who can blame her?
Which brings me to the question – how in the world did she end up with 5 cubs?! Talk about exhausting – the average black bear (Ursus americanus) litter size is 2-3. I’d be swatting their furry bottoms too! *
*Don’t stress, I don’t have kids so you don’t have to worry about me swatting anyone’s bottom.
