Black Bear Hops Onto Float To Relax In Backyard California Pool

Oh to be this bear, floating in the middle of a pool without a worry in the world. Wild animals enjoy pool days too, and who are we to stop them? And of all the creatures that we share this planet with, there might not be a four-legged being that likes to take a dip in the clear waters of a backyard pool more than bears. We've seen countless examples of bear saying, "Don't mind if I do" and taking advantage of pools and hot tubs. When it gets hot outside, it seems like bears intuitively know that jumping into the pool is one of the best ways to cool off. Maybe they've observed humans doing so from a distance and picked up on it? Whether it be a mother bear teaching her cubs how to swim , or a big ol' bear plopping down in an open Smoky Mountain hot tub , these curious animals seem to really love taking some time for rest and relaxation. You can either categorize it as that , or hijinks. Whatever you prefer to call it! I'd say the bear in this video definitely fits into the "hijinks" category more, considering it walked up on a California pool and decided to hop aboard one of the floats that was left drifting in the water. Anyone that has ever tried to make their way on top of a float knows it can be much harder than it appears, so it's really impressive that this bear jumped on and stuck the landing. If I'm being honest with you, I'm incredibly jealous of this bear. It doesn't have to pay rent, or really anything, yet it still gets to enjoy a fun day at the pool? Doesn't seem fair to me, but then again, I'm happy to watch this bear put a pool float to use. Once it was done in the water, it exited the water and went on with its day, leaving the homeowners searching for words to describe what happened. Luckily, they got it all on video: https://twitter.com/NBCLA/status/1806900803455590888
