Mama Bear Takes Her 5 Adorable Cubs To Play In A Children’s Playground
There are few other animals who love to play as freely and recklessly as bear cubs do. While these adorable creatures usually prefer to go loose when they stumble upon a puddle or an open field, as it turns out, they don’t shy away from playing like human children do, too. Just look at these 5 adorable cubs who wandered into someone’s backyard and promptly started playing with their swingset. “This was taken in our backyard. It is supposedly a mom and five cubs, two of which are suspected to be adopted from a different litter,” said the person who spotted this joyful bear family.
Recently, a family from Asheville captured an adorable video of a mama bear and her 5 cubs visiting their backyard swingset
The video was captured in Asheville, North Carolina, a city that’s known for its big black bear population. It is estimated that there are from 100 to 200 bears year-round among the population of 90,000 humans. Unsurprisingly, residents of Asheville have had plenty of encounters with these bears roaming through their backyards and having a snack from their dumpsters.
As it turns out, bear cubs love to invade human backyards and play with whatever they find out there
Clearly, this particular bear family from the video is not an isolated event. These animals don’t refrain from visiting people’s backyards in the hope of having a great time in their pools, on their hammocks, and of course, searching for food that has been left out in the open.
If you live in areas heavily populated with black bears, don’t be surprised if you find them swinging in your hammock
While it could seem scary to live in an area heavily populated by these bears, it turns out that they are quite timid. Black bears can easily be chased away by anyone, even the smallest dog can do the trick. According to North American Bear Center researchers, they have never seen a black bear they couldn’t chase away.
Or splashing around in your pool!

Share on FacebookIt is wonderful to see wild life, but in the same time it is sad...It is sad to see what we are doing to the wild life...we are invading their territory, we are continuously creating more difficulties for them. We are chopping trees, we are building on their turf and so on... Even if I LOVE this post, it makes me sad, very sad
Kinda ironic on the one video with thebears all using the pool the mother says, "Tell (Daddy) to call animal control." I was thinking along the same lines of aren't we the animals that need to be controlled for evading their territory?
Load More Replies...Do you know what's not adorable and peaceful? When despicable hunters come to the wild (or what's left of it) and drag bear cubs and wolf pups, out of their dens and shoot them, having a great time murdering innocent sentient beings.

5 cubs and their momma? That's a lot of cubs for a bear mother. Even if she "adopted" 2 or 3 of them from "another litter". Or maybe she's baby-sitting for her friends at the book club?
Anyone else notice the tracking collar on Mama Bear in the first video with the five cubs? It's particularly clear at 0:45.
This would make a brilliant animal psychology experiment to see if they could work out how to use all the equipment effectively. In the first video, a bear climbs up the ladder to the slide and they would probably all work it out given enough time.
Black bears that have experience with people tend to be shy of them; with grizzly bears it’s the opposite.

No, it's not great Bob; if people did not invaded and destroyed wild land - the home of wild animals, they would not come anywhere close to people.
Load More Replies...I do so wish I lived in a country where you could see this "for real". No bears in the UK (except probably in zoos).
I was once on a birding trip and the leader pointed out a bear track in the graveled parking area and that in itself was enough to make me never want to come upon one.
Load More Replies...that last video is great, the mama's doing all the stuff kids do in the pool and the cub doesn't want anything to do with it
