Huge Bear Swimming and Bathing

American black bears, the smallest of their species, roam throughout North America. The animal is endowed with a good-natured and gentle disposition, although it has a formidable appearance.

An eyewitness had captured American black bear bathing in Alligator River, in Buffalo City, North Carolina.

"I was sitting along road near Alligator River waiting for black bears to emerge during the evening, when one came out of the woods right behind me. After swimming and bathing for about 20 minutes it went back into the woods," the eyewitness wrote, commenting on the footage.
