A large bear strolled along a busy beach and went for a dip last month in South Lake Tahoe, California.

Our desires follow what we see. This bear also wished to have a swim for enjoyment like the beach lovers without harming anybody.

"Isn't this a public beach?"

@DS-mr7gr

"Someone make him leave" who was THAT entitled Karen? 😂
@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering
That’s an Alpha male Bear right there ..
Couldn’t give a poop about the humans there already 😅
👍🏴
@romilahernandez8083
❤❤❤😊😊😊
@mikeoittinen5623
On the local news two hours from Tahoe, they were showing this same beach where the mama bear walked up with her cubs, set up an area for themselves on the sand, right where it meets the water and she sat upright and watched her cubs play, just like humans..
wow, for real! I watched it .
@woodstocknation1961
WOW that is awesome
@ABoredTroll
His cute ears. 🐻🐻
@bernadettelee155
He has every right there 🙏🏿🙏🏿
@HDCalame
Where does a bear go to swim? Wherever a bear WANTS to go to swim!
@patrickbush9526
Poor guy is just trying to escape the craziness
@rampagenelson9658
Hear me out Shark vs Bear 😮
@mikeoittinen5623
Bears in Tahoe are soooo acclimated to humans. He's chill, and also walks well to the music!
@denisemagkotsou2786
The 🐻 goes fishing 😂 possibly human hunting too if still hungry
@KRAKER5-br7bo
This is some DEI I can get behind
@brianrutherfield9233
Poor bear is stuck in CA!
@AryonaSamoto
Why is there always that loud person ruining the shot?
@64endlesslove
Beautiful Creature. ❤
@damionneranginui6546
Sounds like a joke. Bear goes for a swim on the beach……whatareyougonnadoaboutit? Its a bear. It does what it likes. Me, i would have broken the wotld record from Bolt to get away from that. I'm not afraid so much as I have a healthy respect for my life. Our bears in Australia are not such an issue. I'm very happy that there are large oceans between us so I'm confident they can't swim to here and hitching on a boat or plane isn't an option.
@neiln62
We saw this happen at North Lake Tahoe
@susannpatton2893
ANIMALS HAVE THE RIGHT TO COOL THEMSELVES OFF TOO
@susannpatton2893
It was his beach 1st. Animals have a right to cool themselves off too
@laviniadobasiu8750
So cute , adorable ❤
@firstnamekaty8830
I live on the beach in Mexico Beach, FL(about an hour from Panama City Beach), and the black bears down here freak the tourists out so bad😂🤣 A lot of people don’t even realize we have bears here.
@rhondaborders3452
Clear the beach, I'm large & in charge!
@coolmoon4382
I'm so glad that they did not frighten the bear away because the bear must have been really in need of cooling off and if they frighten him/her away he/she wouldn't have gotten near the water and been able to go in and cool off. so I'm glad that they were respectful enough to not try to chase him/her away
@courtneystoppard8735
I love seeing this, at least this time you can't see to many stupid people around zhe bear…I am proud, let him be and carry on. Best outcome 😊
@dorenewhitacre1908
He's hot and he needed to cool down his body temp. He knew humans were no threat to him.
Cool dip!…lol
@2URLex
It’s hot outside for humans and it’s even hotter for furry animals.
@conniekingery4837
So cute Sweet
@micheletebowthibeault
I can't believe how close the bear was to all those loud people without getting agitated or aggressive at all. He was calm as though he does this everyday and has spent plenty of time around people.
@denisemarcus5633
If it was a Black Bear 🐻 just have fun. But thats a BROWN BEAR 🐻…Its too use to humans. Or someone's pet😢😢
@marie23926
He was respectful about it 🤷 lol ❤️ we have indoor pools & running water 💦 so they're more entitled then us
@t24hy44
After all, this was probably his ancestors' swimming hole long before these humans showed up. 🐻
@911axe
Ok, so i know the old saying do a bear crap in the woods, but now have me wondering do a bear crap in the ocean.
@Dlpfan1985
At first I thought he was looking for a picnic baskets😂😂
