An Okanagan resident came home during the lunch hour and spotted a mother bear and her three cubs ambling through her backyard.

The Kelowna resident says she’s actively bear smart and doesn’t leave out possible attractants, but that still hasn’t stopped the bruin from visiting.

A Kelowna man was on a landscaping job last week in the Kettle Valley area when he witnessed an encounter between deer and a bear.

The boy told his parents to film the encounter, then calmly walked downhill with the bear following just a few metres behind him.

People eating at a Canmore restaurant Sunday evening were shocked to see a black bear wander in the doors.

The act of athleticism was filmed by Renfrew Road resident Jay Robertson on Monday morning.

PETA was quick to denounce the use of a performance animal, calling it "inhumane" and dangerous. 

The video captures the moment a black bear breaks into a parked van by easily opening the door.

A bear and her two cubs were captured on camera bathing alongside swimmers at a popular beach on Lake Tahoe in California.
