18 March 2024 at 9:28 am

A bear at a New York sanctuary was spotted taking time to relax on a tire swing, footage posted to YouTube shows.

The Orphaned Wildlife Center posted this video of Amy, saying that they “finally have visual proof of one of life’s greatest mysteries: how in the world do bears get into the swing inside their cozy dens?”

This footage shows Amy chilling out after climbing on to the tire swing.

Founded by Jim Kowalczik, Susan Kowalczik, and Kerry Clair in 2015, the Orphaned Wildlife Center, in Otisville, New York, nurtures its animal residents in the hope they can be returned to the wild.

The center often shares videos and updates about the animals in its care to its YouTube channel and Facebook page. Credit: Orphaned Wildlife Center via Storyful
