Agile Bear Cubs Wrestle While Balancing in Tree in North Carolina Backyard

Two bear cubs were caught on camera having a brief wrestling match in a tree in a North Carolina backyard, as mama bear waited below.Footage by Asheville resident David Oppenheimer shows the cubs managing to stay balanced while they have a tiff.Oppenheimer told Storyful the bears were in a dogwood tree "where they like to eat berries right off of the branches.“One of the cubs climbed over to the branch where its sibling was, seemingly not approving of it being higher up in the tree, and without warning, gave it a playful but not so gentle bite,” Oppenheimer said.“The other cub snapped back, defending itself while holding itself up in the tree with its lower body. The bears began to wrestle while hanging on in the tree, remaining focused on staying balanced enough to not fall,” he continued.“When the cub that was first bit climbed down the tree and went to its mom, it received no sympathy, as it had to quickly move its head to avoid getting bit by its mom in a seemingly tough love lesson,” he added.
