A camper in Yosemite National Park witnessed an embarrassing moment for a juvenile bear.
Backpackers stumbled across two bears near a river on Tuesday. Naturally, the backpackers tried to avoid the bears, but when one bear entered the water, things took a turn for the worse.
The current was much stronger than the bear likely anticipated, and after a bit of a struggle, the bear was sucked down a small falls and rocketed into a section of strong rapids below.
"I started laughing when I initially realize it's fighting hard against the current," the cameraman wrote in the video description. Soon his laughter turned into worry.
"By the time the bear and I both realize it's not getting out, the current has already sucked the bear down the waterfall behind me and shoots the whitewater rapids tumbling end over end until the video ends."
The uploader says that he were expecting the worst, so he stopped filming. Thankfully, it appears as if the bear made it out of the rapids alive. The uploader wrote that after he stopped recording, he saw the bear exit the river safely.
