Black Bear Cub on Safety Patrol

Occurred on / Asheville, North Carolina, USA

Info from licensor: "When returning from a short walk to my hotel on the outskirts of Asheville North Carolina the day after our band, Electric Blue Yonder, performed at the Grey Eagle, the grounds keeper alerted me to come over and look. I saw an adolescent black bear playing in the bushes at the neighboring restaurant. I went to alert my wife because we had our puppies with us, and then met her by the side door of the hotel. I pulled my phone out just in time to see the bear pick up a safety cone and play with it. The Groundskeeper told me that the bear had been visiting frequently since it was a small cub with a sibling and his Mother. The bear was playful but we kept at safe distance."
