Bear Brings Cubs To Investigate Cabin

Occurred on June 17, 2021 / Sevierville, Tennessee, USA

Info from Licensor: "My family was staying in a cabin in the Tennessee mountains. My grandmother was eating leftover BBQ outside on the balcony while my grandfather, boyfriend, and I were soaking in the hot tub. I saw the mama bear walking up the hill to our balcony and so I got out of the hot tub to get a closer look. (This mama bear had visited us two days earlier when my stepdad was cooking the BBQ, and she even knocked over the BBQ pit looking for food.) The mama bear and two Cubs were on our front porch by the time I dried off from the hot tub and then made their way over to our balcony where I recorded this video. My grandfather and boyfriend were still in the hot tub on the lower balcony and the bears are looking down at them in the video. After this video was taken, I filmed another video of the mama bear drinking out of the hot tub and then finally leaving. My grandfather and boyfriend also had to call my stepdad to come unlock the lower balcony house door for them to come inside so they were actually trapped on the lower balcony with the bear for a couple minutes and luckily, the bear didn’t charge at them or anything."
