FIVE bear cubs were captured having the time of their life on play equipment in North Carolina, the United States, as mother bear looked on. The adorable cubs were filmed June 12 in Asheville as they enjoyed exploring the swing and slide set. The footage shows two of the bears play fighting for pole position at the bottom of the slide. A third cub then tries its luck to get on the bottom of the slide, climbing over the side, and successfully knocking one of the bears off, while the other walks away. The same cub bounds up to the top of the slide skidding down to tackle the cub, who it had pushed off and is now having another attempt at making it to the top, only to be pushed back down again. The two continue to tussle up and down the slide and are joined by a third who plays and slides up and down. Meanwhile one of the other cubs is intent on climbing on one of the swings and pushes it back and forward with its paws. The person who recorded the footage said: “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.” (SD-Agencies) |
