Play time can happen any time, at least for one pair of bear cubs.
The duo was spotted having a nighttime romp in a California yard, taking full advantage of some man-made devices.
Pioneer, California resident Patricia Hobbs captured footage of the cubs on a CCTV camera in her yard on July 23.
“I checked [my cameras] and saw the bear cubs playing on our ninja course that we have up for our grandkids,” Hobbs told Storyful.
“The one cub really enjoyed the swing. The other one was looking back saying come on let’s go,” she added.
Bear encounters can be quite common, especially with black bears, where there have been more than 46,000 human-black bear interactions recorded by the International Association for Bear Research and Management since 2022.
