Homeowner Spots Playful Black Bear Frolicking In The Snow In Her Driveway

Sure, snow can be a pain to deal with in the winter, but it’s also oh-so beautiful. Plus, it’s a blast to play with, too! And yes, this is true no matter if you’re a little kid or an adult. In fact, you don’t even have to be a human in order to appreciate the joys of snow. Bears also love playing in the snow! All the proof Jeanne Barber could ever need was found right in her very own driveway.

When Jeanne looked outside, she expected to see lots of snow. What she did not expect, however, was a massive black bear playing around in the white fluff. But that’s exactly what she found one cold morning in Connecticut. While it’s possible this put a pause any plans she may have had, catching a glimpse of this joyful bear made it a great moment. See this sweet moment for yourself in the video below.

How adorable is this black bear? The way it keeps going after the ball of snow, no matter how many times it escapes his grasps, is so precious. His behavior is so similar to that of a cute dog. A much bigger, scarier dog, but an adorable one nonetheless!

But alas, while bears are friend-shaped, it’s not wise to actually interact with them up close. Luckily, that doesn’t affect our viewing experience of this adorable video — or other ones like it!

Massive Snow-Loving Black Bear in Connecticut is Caught Playing in Someone’s Driveway

“Playing before bedtime,” someone in the comment section of the video cleverly points out, with another admitting what they’d do in this situation, “Me calling my work: Sorry I can’t come in today. A beautiful bear is making snowballs.”

“That bear is sooo cute,” a third person chimes in. “Who knew a piece of crusty snow could be that entertaining!”
