It must have been an un-bear-ably hot day in Florida.
Beachgoers in Destin were treated to the jaw-dropping sight of a black bear cub splashing in the surf to cool off Sunday, when midday temperatures were in the 80s.
Social media lit up with videos showing the grizzly holidaymaker enjoying a dip in the Gulf of Mexico’s refreshing blue waters, before emerging onto a crowded beach.
In one clip showing the furry youngster skillfully swimming in the ocean, a woman witnessing the bewildering scene quips off camera: “I guess he’s on vacation, too!”
Eventually, the cub makes his way closer to the shore and is seen gamboling in knee-deep water among human beachgoers.
“It’s a bear!” some people are heard exclaiming in shock.
