Animals are incredible creatures. They will never stop astonishing us with their misdeeds. There is not a single viral video about animals on the World Wide Web that hasn’t provoked a smile on our face. The same goes for this treacherous black bear in Pennsylvania. They say curiosity killed the cat but not this bear. Its curiosity not only helped this animal investigates the pool, but it also manages to steal something from it. How crazy is that? <a href="https://rumble.com/v3hrtp-black-bear-and-three-cubs-crossing-highway.html" target="_blank">The bear</a> is standing on the brink of the pool before she leans with its body forwards in order to take a water bag that it thinks appropriate to steal. Extending her front legs, the bear tries to grab the blue water bag first but having realized it is more difficult to get, it makes use of its muzzle and catches the yellow water bag. Having pulled out half of the bag, the bear faces little difficulties pulling the rest. But animals are pretty resourceful creatures so they will find their way round obstacles. Just like this bear does. After it has found a way to position the bag in the handiest way possible, we see the animal going away triumphantly as it succeeds in its stealing mission. What a smart bear this is. Unbelievable! These large and <a href="https://rumble.com/v3fvvb-tourists-gather-dangerously-close-to-wild-black-bear-in-algonquin-park.html" target="_blank">stocky animals</a> with short tails are not territorial at all; they are mostly solitary. Home ranges typically are larger where food is less abundant and smaller where food is plentiful. When winter arrives, black bears spend the season dormant in their dens, feeding on body fat they have built up by eating ravenously all summer and fall.

What do you do when those searing temperatures hit? You hit the fans, the ACs, the cold beverages and ice chips. It is fairly easy for us humans; all we need to do is get wet and stand in the shade. With animals, however, it may not be so simple. Especially with wild animals. This video was shot during the scorching heat wave that hit the States back in 2010. A <a href="https://rumble.com/v3ivln-oakland-zoos-black-bear-cubs-nurse-from-mama-bear.html" target="_blank">mama black bear</a> took her <a href="https://rumble.com/v4i4xh-adorable-moment-that-mama-bear-and-her-three-cubs-get-spooked.html" target="_blank">three tiny bear cubs</a> for a cool down in Justin Hoffman’s backyard and his inflatable pool. From what we can tell, the animal was probably scouting the area for quite some time, because she knew right away how to get to the cool water inside. We are also profoundly amazed at how gentle she is with the structure, not puncturing her once with her long claws. Her cubs are all around the backyard: one in the play house, one underneath it in the shade, while the third one is braving it out and following sweet mama towards the pool. The cub does not take another second; it just jumps up and takes a quick plunge in the water. Its siblings are quick to follow suite, while mama keeps a watchful eye. Here’s what Justin had to say about this incredible encounter: “This video is very RARE. Please watch the whole video carefully because It's amazing how the mother interacted with her cubs. I did not call the game commission, and no bears were harmed. These bears were simply using the pool to cool off during a 2 week heat wave.”
