A group of bear cubs has been caught on video invading a backyard in East Granby, Connecticut, to play on a brightly coloured swing set. The footage shows four baby black bears attempting to clamber onto the swings, with one cub later investigating the slide.
A young girl can be heard saying 'hey that's my swing!' as one bear tries unsuccessfully to master the mobile seat. The cubs appeared transfixed by the new toys, focusing first on the swings before one decided to explore the slide.
The incident occurred on 19 October 2017 and highlights the growing interaction between wildlife and suburban areas in Connecticut.
