The Basso family of Rockaway Township, New Jersey, captured footage of a family of black bears cooling off in their backyard pool on a hot summer morning.
In this clip shared by the family, we see a mother bear and her five cubs enjoying a refreshing pool and other playthings in the backyard. So while some cubs wrestle in the pool, the rest are busy setting up the family swings and slides.
Mama bears casually watch over their children as they lounge in the refreshingly cool water.
I loved how each member of the Basso family had their own perspective on bear visits in the background dialogue. Their little one was overjoyed at first, but then got pretty stressed out about her cub “stealing” her swim ring. Dad was equally disappointed when he realized it was probably a bear making a hole in the pool.
However, Mama must have been ecstatic to witness the adventures of rare bears unfolding before her very eyes.
The Bear family’s fun pool party was generally healthy, but there were moments when the Basso and the others panicked. The mother bear grabs the electric pump that is connected to the pool and starts playing with it until it touches the water.
Fortunately, the situation was under control and everyone was safe. Turn up the volume and watch this fun clip. 😆
