Video. Three bears spotted playing on children’s swing in Connecticut

In footage captured on Monday, three bears are seen briefly tangled on a swing before ambling off into nearby woods.

Earlier this month, another bear was filmed sliding head-first down a child’s backyard slide.

Animal welfare groups say bears are emerging from their dens by the end of April, as longer days, warmer temperatures, and the arrival of spring draw them out.

Residents are urged to secure food sources and remain cautious as bear activity increases with warmer weather.
