In the middle of the day, a mother bear takes her cubs for a swim in a Californian lake
A family of bears swimming alongside beachgoers is the last thing anyone expects while visiting a lake in the middle of summer.
That’s exactly what Norma Alvarez and dozens of other people saw on a beach in Lake Tahoe, California.
When beachgoers saw a mama bear and her two adorable cubs cooling off in the lake in the middle of the day, they couldn’t believe their eyes.
It was a hot summer day, and the beach was full, when several unexpected visitors decided to cool off in the water.
The bears were just having some quality time under the watchful eye of everyone who had arrived to see the odd spectacle.
The little ones were ecstatic to be playing in the water, and judging by their behavior, it wasn’t the first time they had done so.
Needless to say, they were unconcerned with the curious onlookers who couldn’t stop filming the wonderful event unfolding in front of them.
After a few minutes of splashing, the mother bear finally pulled her two young children from the water.
It was followed by a short walk along the beach, as if nothing had happened and no one was present, before returning to the woods.
