Dad films wild bear playing with son's football

A quick-thinking dad filmed a wild brown bear playing with his son's football in their backyard while he enjoyed a cold beer.

Daniel Kalles-Pettersson, 44, was sat on his porch around 8pm last Easter in Järvsö, Sweden, when he saw the 6ft long bear 5m away.

He remained silent and took his phone out to film the moment - and was amazed to see it play with his nine-year-old son Noel's football.

The bear played with the bladder for about four minutes before disappearing into Sidskogen, the nearby forests native to Eurasian brown bears.
