A bear who was feeling unsure about a camera pointing at its den made some ‘baby charges’ before finally feeling comfortable enough to come out, video filmed in South Lake Tahoe, California, on April 11 shows.

Footage from nature enthusiast Toogee Sielsch shows a large black bear grunt and make swipes while staring directly at the camera. The bear then stretches and exits the den.

Sielsch told Storyful that he was not present at the time the video was filmed, but was happy to see the bear, who he’d not seen in months, had returned.

Sielsch regularly posts photos and videos related to South Lake Tahoe’s “urbanized black bear population” on his Instagram profile. Credit: Toogee Sielsch via Storyful
