A playful grizzly bear woke up from hibernation in Yellowstone National Park and almost immediately started romping around in the snow, a cute video shows.
Wildlife photographer and tour guide Neil Simmons shared the goofy moment to Instagram on May 6.
“Jam one of my favorite grizzlies in Yellowstone just woke up yesterday and she had quite the itch to scratch!” he wrote in the video’s caption.
The video shows the bear doing somersaults and backflips in a patch of snow and later wrestling with a giant snowball on the slope of a hill.
“Awe, she has a beautiful sweet innocent soul!” someone said in the comments.
Simmons agreed. “She’s so sweet!” he said.
Another person pointed out how healthy the grizzly looks, which Simmons confirmed.
“Ok this is hysterical,” someone else said. “I love her!”
