Black bear cubs playing in Yellowstone

Can you believe these little bears?

They are black bear cubs born this year (you might hear them called COY for Cub Of the Year).

Tell us which part of the video is the funniest (there are a few, but one moment, in particular, makes us LOL!)

Growing up as a bear in Yellowstone is no joke. These bears have to learn how to survive while also avoiding threats like high river crossings, predators (including male bears), speeding cars, and more. Their mom has a big job!

We can help in a major way by observing them from a distance, making sure they have space to go about their natural behaviors without human interference.

That means resisting the urge to get closer, to follow them along the roadsides, or trying to get close-up photos with an iPhone.

This video was taken with a telephoto lens from a distant observation point and cropped for sharing.

Enjoy!
