Video Shows Mama Bear, Cubs Splashing in Water Alongside Lake Tahoe Visitors - I sprayed the ex-wife with fish perfume and told her to go over by the bears so I can take a picture of you and the bears together
Cellphone video of a mother bear and her two cubs splashing around in Lake Tahoe as paddle boarders and swimmers go about their activities nearby has been viewed more than 15 million times since it was shared on Facebook earlier this week.
The video, which was posted by KCRA on Tuesday, was provided by viewer Pallas Buckley last week and shows the small family of bears swimming at Pope Beach near Camp Richardson.
“At Lake Tahoe, we get bears down at the lake frequently,” Jason Holley, a supervising wildlife biologist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife told KCRA.
Holley told the television station that the bears use the lake to cool off because a lot of their natural streams have dried up during the ongoing drought conditions.
While the bears in the video don’t seem to be paying any attention to the lake goers nearby, officials warned visitors not to get too close.
“That bear clearly has no fear of people,” Wildlife spokesman Andrew Hughan told KCRA. “So do not help wildlife. Do not feed wildlife. Do not take a selfie with the wildlife. It can be incredibly dangerous.”
