Bear Cubs Wrestle, Stop Traffic At Yosemite National Park (VIDEO)


First Posted: 09/26/11 02:16 PM ET Updated: 11/26/11 05:12 AM ET

Some lucky visitors to Yosemite National Park were treated to quite the show: Two ridiculously cute bear cubs wrestling with each other in the middle of the road.

Even though this video was posted in July, it's just now going viral. (How this video didn't go viral sooner is certainly one of life's great mysteries.)

According to the video's description on YouTube, the people who shot the video were coming back from a hike in Hetch Hetchy when these cubs stopped traffic. Another bear, presumably the mother, is ahead, probably waiting for these youngsters to quit horsing around.

At one point in the video, we hear a man say, "I want one." Yeah, we do too.

Not all bear interactions are this enjoyable, and a number of people have recently been attacked by bears, raising questions over whether humans should be intruding on bear habitats.

Those bear cubs in the road were as cute as can be, but the tinny one looked like it was VERY skinny, almost like it's close to starving, it may not be getting enough food, that may be why it's so much smaller than the other cub. Also it's fur didn't look as nice as the other cub...hope it fattened up and lives threw the winter.

Bear mamas usually don't bring such young cubs out in the open. She's probably already teaching them to beg food from tourists. The grey cub already looks malnourished, probably from eating people food. Sad beginnings.

Those cubs, particularly one of them, look emaciated or otherwise ill .. I hope they're getting enough to eat .

He didn't really say, "Ahhh, I want one! Please come to my car..." with Big Mama Bear grazing right there, did he?! Geezus! Thank goodness that did not happen.

Black bears can be brown, and Brown bears (grizzlies) can be brown. I didn't notice the distinctive hump on the mama bear's back, so she could be a Black bear.

They are so adorable, I'd have to stop and get out and pet them (if the parents weren't around) ;)

That would be a terrible idea. You would leave behind a foreign scent o nthe cub and it could possibly be disowned and shunned by the mother. Then it would starve to death by itself just because you wanted to pet the cute little bear.

Did you notice my winky face smiley? That means I wouldn't really do that. But thank you for telling me that. That is a good point.

No, it is a body part.

The younger-skinnier one looks more human-bear, rather than animal-bear. It could easily pass as a Michigan Dog-Man.

Haha! "Oh look, honey, a Michigan Dog-Man. I want one."

I guess we have to add a ninth rule: Mom gets to eat anyone who tries to tape Fight Club.
