A trail camera in Canada’s Yukon Territory has captured a what appears to have been a playful moment between two black bears on a remote forest trail.
The footage, shared recently by Yukon Wildlife Cams, involves fairly large black bears, one of them cinnamon-colored.
The darker bear seems to be putting the moves on the lighter bear at the outset. But at  20 seconds, as the darker bear begins to continue down the trail, the lighter bear pounces from behind.

This interaction occurs directly in front of the camera.
David Troup, who positions and monitors a network of cameras in the Yukon wilderness, stated in his description:
“In just a ten hour window in mid-June, a pair of differently colored black bears playing, or foreplaying, a nighttime lynx, and an early morning moose visited this site.”
The lynx and moose are shown after the bear scuffle.
