Summer is here, and that means that everyone, our animal counterparts included, is looking to relax with a nice dip in the pool.
And as this incredible devoted shows, that was exactly what was on this massive bear’s mind when they stopped over in someone’s backyard to enjoy their pool.
And hey, we can’t blame this guy for wanting to take a dip in summonses like this, it can still be pretty hot at night, and who doesn’t enjoy a nice relaxing swim after dark?
Well, doesn’t that just look like a splashing good time? At first, this bear is just so happy to be in the water, splashing around like a happy human who is all too overjoyed to finally be cooling off.
And after a few moments of some good old-fashioned splashing around, this massive bear calms down a little bit, as he just wins along, nice and easy around the pool, just enjoying the feeling of it all.

And as soon as his nighttime soak is done, this guy is off into the night. He took his refreshing dip, and now he is fully recharged and ready to resume his nocturnal animal adventures.
While it is true that this bear was very dirty, you can really see all the dirt in the water when he first gets in the pool, Instagram user poolbearlife, who posted this video and whose pool this is, is not concerned about their pool getting dirty.
They wrote, “Yes, he’s dirty. No, we don’t drain the pool. The filter system and weekly maintenance handle it like a champ. He splashes, he chills, and then he’s off. Just another wild night in the life here in the foothills.”
Bears and Back Yards
Summertime backyard fun is just for us humans, clearly, bears enjoy hanging out in the backyard pool to cool off just as much as we do. This can result in frequent bear sightings in people’s backyards during this time of year.
And while that might sound scary, the good news is that most encounters between bears and humans are actually very peaceful.
If someone does see a bear in their backyard or hanging out in their pool, the best course of action is to stay inside the house and avoid interacting with them altogether.
It is highly likely that someone’s backyard is actually sort of a bear’s natural habitat, and all they are looking to do is escape the summertime heat for a little bit.
But once they have cooled off, after a nice, relaxing swim, they will most likely move on, just like the big, adorable bear in this video.
