Mother bear shows her cubs how to swim in the pool as a resident watches | Lifestyle

A mother bear showed her two cubs how to swim in a couple's pool in California on Monday, May 6.

Owner Rick Martinez filmed the curious young animals watching as the adult bear cooled off in the water on his Monrovia property.

The mother appeared to scare her cubs for a moment as she shook her head in the pool.

“Cuteness overload… We hope to see them grow up happy and healthy,” Martínez said.

Monrovia city officials say local hills are occupied by bears, coyotes, deer, mountain lions and bobcats, which sometimes venture into residential neighborhoods.
