A family in the US came home this week to find a family of black bears cooling off in their backyard pool. Tim Basso, his wife and their two children, 3 and 5, from Rockaway, New Jersey, spent about an hour watching the mother bear and her five cubs splash about and play on their slide and swing set. "They're acting almost like people, hanging out in the pool - having a good time and cooling off," Mr Basso told NBC News. Tim filmed the incident and posted it on YouTube for us to enjoy.
