Wild Bears Go Into Man's Backyard To Swim In His Pool | Cuddle Buddies

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Do you have bears coming into backyards where you live?🐻

[@sonnypruitt6639]

No, I wouldn't build a house in their woods.

[@maureenbolden8451]

No, I would be terrified 😮

[@BarrySuridge]

No bears (except Koalas) in the Land Downunder.

How wonderful that the family enjoy the bears so much. What an experience to have. I’m really quite jealous.

[@dad4ever-c90]

I think it's great that you provide pool toys and floats for them to enjoy. Maddie Bear must feel like she is raising her cubs at a country club!

[@patricianyiri8879]

OH MY GOODNESS THAT BEAR IS SOOOOOOOO CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL AND SMART ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Right, isn't she? And it's amazing she brought her cub🐻

[@Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnsh]

Bears are Soo cute bears are misunderstood

I'm kind of blown away that the bear seemed to understand how the float surface worked. I understand why dogs do because they watch their owners do it. But how'd the bear learn?

[@Dixie110]

Bears are incredibly intelligent, more so than dogs. They also learn by observation & exploration. No doubt they've observed this family from the forest line, not far from the family using their pool. They just didn't know they were being observed I bet.

[@MrLuffy9131]

I think something in nature like logs or they found another pool lol

[@redwoods7370]

I agree. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. But I do know that bears are highly intelligent.

[@DCB938]

They often climb on logs floating in the water in the wild. They’re super intelligent. I’m thrilled you’re letting them enjoy your pool. You’ll have the winter to play in the pool just heat it up. Most bears hibernate in the winter.

[@thenightporter]

Visitors to the National Forest have dropped their binoculars when they saw a bear. The bears picked the binoculars up and ever since then use them in the forest to point down to houses at the edge of the forest and watch humans.

[@Just_Pele]

We live right next to the Smoky Mtns national park, and with us it's the black bears, and they do the exact same thing. They love to swim in our pool during the evening or early morning, for ~30 minutes, and they would be on their way. The only real issue is at first they would destroy anything made of fabric, so we started locking all that up in the pool house when we weren't out there, but I do leave some cheap volleyballs and beach balls for them to play with. Oh, and we do get a lot of fur in the pool screens and filters, so those are cleaned out more often, which is no big deal.

[@brianklamer3328]

We leave the stray cats in our backyard for the black bears when they visit.

[@jaysky2000]

@Just_Pele ~ Very nice of you to adjust and share your life with the local bears!

[@stobbinsboy]

Strong work! I'm jealous.

[@sonnypruitt6639]

Do bears pee in the pool?

[@Just_Pele]

@@sonnypruitt6639 No doubt.

Other than having to buy kevlar pool toys, that's the best house in the world.

Hope they don't tell all the other bears about your place.

Hilarious...you will have bear activity the realtor proclaimed. You WILL SHARE your pool with the bears is more like it! 🐻

Now this is what you call perfect coexistence. This family has adapted perfectly. They r doing everything right. The cubs are so cute! They are extremely lucky.

Exactly - may you be richly blessed ❤

[@keithwald5349]

Bears are wonderful animals, and they kind of stand apart as there is no other "nearby" animal group quite like them either in body plan or in behavior and intelligence. When I see this video, I am of course delighted, but I'm also a bit apprehensive, as all species of bear can be unpredictable and _extremely_ dangerous. Caution and respect are the order of the day.

[@EuclideanAl]

Bears are like the Forbidden Cuddle Buddies.

[@youdontknowme5969]

1:05 she actually got on the float 🤣

[@katiemanning3761]

I loved it!! So funny!!

[@kelperdude]

Spa time.

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

I'm just glad they're Black Bears, because Grizzlies would take those doors right off the hinges. Also who's the guy that sounds like George Clooney?😂 It's must be nice to know you've made a place so comfortable for Mom not just to bring her cubs, but also to sleep.❤ Well Done.

Thanks 🙏 for sharing your property with Gods creatures 😎

[@darkhairboy1]

It’s all beautiful and Kumbaya but what if they’re chilling in the pool and the bears show up?

[@judithgarcia5137]

Yeah, they’ve changed your life for the better because they didn’t eat you😳

[@ICU1337]

I'd be a terrible bear neighbor 😭 I'd be out there grilling them fish 🐠 and steaks 🐮 giving them pets and cuddles 🤗 The California WildLife Protection Services would _hate me_ 😅

[@blakewu1375]

You should definitely start charging Air Ursine ‘n B for these bears, or at least swim fees. 😂

[@marshallsanders-tp9yu]

How Blessed are you!

[@ericasutton3147]

Though it’s adorable how bears are curious and silly when they come across a suburban home. I would never want to be in a neighborhood where bears wander around. Too dangerous for me

[@michaeldavid6832]

It's all fun-and-games until a guest gets mauled. No dinner parties at that residence.

[@robertjanicki5906]

Even BBQing indoors could be problematical, since bears have a great sense of smelling food, even if it's behind a closed door.

[@VultureLivesAgain]

It's cute to see it in a 3-minute video. But actually living there seems like it would be a huge pain in the arse, and potentially dangerous.

[@suziematthews5520]

U gyes r fantastic 👏 🐻..thank u 4 being so sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ccasey1904]

I can’t believe the bear figured out how a floatie works!😊

[@stevewebb7126]

There is nothing good to come of this. It's making the bears unscared of humans, and anyone unfortunate to walk out there will be attacked, or the bears will visit another persons pool who has kids. They should have been scared away. Ever tried cuddleing a bear, it will be the last thing you do 😅

[@michelle7377]

The bear getting on that floatable flawlessly was absolutely adorable, like she had done it a thousand times.❤❤❤

[@yolondambrowm9803]

There's a lot of bear activity because some inconsiderate humans thought it would be a could idea to take away their home so that humans could move in!

[@elizabethbelflower5284]

We live down on a south Alabama river surrounded by woods and swamps .We have had a mama and cubs here for nearly 20 years though probably not the same Mama Bear .They really like our 600 gallon stock tank down in the woods we collect rainwater and raise fishing minnows in .Deer quite enjoy it also since we do have alligators here so it is far safer for them to drink from .I have several tree limbs inside and over the top for smaller creatures to escape like lizards ,birds and small mammals to drink out of ,homemade steps and a small deck also help out .With it being rainwater never have a chlorine issue and the bears really like lying in front of the submerged waterfall pump .The advantages of rainwater is it provides a home for dragonflies ,Swamp Iris keeps the water crystal clear and even my honeybees take advantage of it .I placed an old plastic pot bottom filled with river rocks for them and butterflies on the deck .Sometimes I even add a submerged mister near the deck so birds can take a shower .Amazing what a natural above ground pond can do for native wildlife .Sure I get the occasional Cottonmouth or Water Snake in it but all native snake species are welcome here also .Best 300.00 I ever spent in my wildlife habitats here .I am a federally licensed wildlife rescuer and it gives injured water creatures like turtles a safe recovery area with a natural food source with the minnows ,crawdads and insects instead of a cage being a more natural environment for them .If I want to go swimming I have a perfectly good river in front of my home with rapids and waterfalls .

[@Sandra-u2x2v]

How foolish you are...Bears are dangerous ... allowing bears to roam freely in your space only leads to tragedy for both human and bears... think of the consequences... I live in Eastern Wa. and have seen what a bear can do when hungry, startled or just plain nasty... don't be complacent waiting for an accident to happen...

Not that I’d want to swim in the pool after bears are constantly in it. They’d be enjoying it, but I wouldn’t.

[@bekind5893]

Thank you for sharing your home with them and not having them shot or tranquilized and relocated

[@anneterry3660]

Thank you so much for this video. Years ago living rural the animals, given reasonable distance, were not a problem. That said, garbage and food stuffs were well kept in the garage/storeroom. The possums were fantastic in the garden area feasting on fallen and non-edible for the table, the garden sanitation department. Did various animals sup from the garden? Yes, indeed. I have the option of the grocery store, the veggies I did grow were far from fabulous. Always distance, avoid being a threat--it goes both ways.

[@LauraBCReyna]

2 months ago we moved from Monterey County, California, which doesn't have bears... to Mendocino County, which does have bears. So far I've seen 5 bears: a lone one & a mom & her 3 cubs. The cubs were v small & adorable. She must have given birth a few weeks prior. We also have at least 1 bear that comes around at night trying to get into our trash. The metal shed that was already on the property has a lot of bear damage from being "explored" through the yrs.

[@mariegilhooley4461]

I love when they go into people's yards and play on the slides, swings, trampolines and hammocks. Haven't mastered the hammock

[@vickigonya9432]

I'd be happy to watch them play , swim, nap. So sweet! She is a proud momma❤😂

Animals give us our humanity and as you said yourself, it’s a privilege to be able to have these beautiful visitors throughout our lives. Big hugs to you both and your bears, from Susan and Michael 💜🐻🫠🦘

[@lindaj171]

What a BLESSING to have these beautiful creatures visit! I live near 2 rivers in the middle of a large city on the Canadian prairies and I get excited when I see foxes, raccoons, deer, groundhogs and skunks in my yard (although a little trepidatious about the skunks!). I grew up on a farm about 7 miles from a provincial park and one day when I was home alone, a teenage black bear was sitting on our lawn.

[@WaterMalone42]

Wealthy Bears enjoying the bears.

[@Boris_Chang]

It is indeed a privilege to have bears visiting. What a good attitude. You live near their forest homes (which probably have been shrinking) and recognize that you need to co-exist.

[@verybighomer]

Love their approach to respect and coexist. Us humans intrude so much into territories, so it's only fair to give back a little. Glad they enjoy the furry visitors.

Thank you for letting them be bears. Maddie keeps coming back because she knows she safe there. My favorite shot is the 1 of her getting on the float. 😀

[@alejandroperez5368]

They're using the facilities as if they pay taxes

[@Epiphany_nz]

I noticed the lack of safety fence for your pool - a requirement in some countries especially for families with children. Doubt it's enough to keep the bears out of your property. Electric fence might work. It's enough to keep beasts in and predators off farms. Should be easily doable on top of an existing property fence.

[@gangrelsmith5589]

zomg you are both so lucky , you should start a youtube live channel for them .. haha

[@fjayneym7887]

[@sharonlefebure3892]

When you build in their habitat that’s what is going to happen. Please be diligent so these beautiful creatures don’t get put down just for being bears. You’re incredibly lucky to have them visit you. They’re a blessing not a pest and they deserve our love and respect. Good for you for treating them with kindness. And letting their family have some fun

[@derwynsharp5866]

I appreciate that these wonderful people weren’t the type to overreact and try to have the bears killed or anything. They were understandably worried but they did their research and kept a respectful distance watching and allowing wildlife just enjoying the pool. No harm. No foul. I wish more people respected and acted more like them. Wildlife is to be wary but respectfully watched from a safe distance.😊

Yes. It really is wonderful to live in a town where you can coexist with all these wild animals. I have enjoyed every minute of it. You have to keep your distance and be on alert, just in case, but for the most part, there really hasnt been much trouble. If you dont like animals, you should never live in an area where these animals are present.

[@SW-lw6mt]

This is the right attitude around wild bears. If you're going to destroy their habitat and live there, then you have to appreciate their presence.
