Bear Cub Has Splashy Adventure in South Lake Tahoe

A nature enthusiast filmed an adult bear and her two cubs as they walked along a tree limb over a stream in South Lake Tahoe, California, on June 23, capturing the adorable moment when one of the cubs playfully paws the water, then jumps in.

The footage, filmed on a trail camera set up by South Lake Tahoe local Toogee Sielsch, shows the idyllic scene.

“Start your weekend off with a Lake Tahoe black bear cubs of the year CUTENESS OVERLOAD,” Sielsch wrote in an Instagram post.

He added that he believes that there are “8-9 different female bears with cubs moving around the South Shore of Lake Tahoe.”

Sielsch frequently captures videos and images of wildlife in the Lake Tahoe area and shares the footage on his Instagram account. Credit: Toogee Sielsch via Storyful
