The Basso family from Rockaway Township, New Jersey captured footage of a black bear family cooling off in their backyard pool on a hot summer morning.
In this clip shared by the family, we see the mama bear and her 5 cubs totally enjoying the refreshing pool and other play accessories lying around in the backyard. So while some of the bear cubs wrestle each other in the pool, the rest get busy working out the family’s swing and slide set.
As for the mama bear, she nonchalantly oversees her kids while lounging in the cool rejuvenating water!
We love how each member of the Basso family had their own unique perspective of the bear visit in the background conversation. Their little kid was thrilled at first but later got pretty stressed about the bear cubs “stealing” her floaties. Dad seemed equally bummed upon realizing that the bears were probably poking holes in the pool.
However, Mom was surely having a blast witnessing the rare bear adventure unfolding in front of her eyes.
Despite the overall wholesomeness of the bear family’s fun pool party, there is a moment that causes the Bassos to panic. The mama bear grabs the pool’s plugged-in electric pump and starts fiddling around with it, even bringing it in contact with the water.
Luckily, the situation was brought under control and everyone was safe and sound! Do keep your volume up for this delightful clip!
