The video starts with a seemingly empty living room. However, it’s not long before a bear makes its grand entrance, exploring the unfamiliar surroundings with curiosity. While bears are known to venture into residential areas in search of food, this particular bear has a different agenda.

As the bear continues its exploration, it stumbles upon a piano. What happens next is both amusing and astonishing. The bear, by accident or genuine interest, starts playing the piano. While it’s no Beethoven, the bear produces a series of notes, turning the living room into an impromptu concert hall.

Scientists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team are studying the bear populations in Yellowstone. Here, they’ve seen the first female grizzly bear with cubs of the year for 2020 in Yellowstone National Park. The radio-collared female was seen with 3 cubs during a telemetry tracking flight on 4/10. One of the 3 cubs is hard to see between the 2 obvious siblings, but you can just make out its head. This beautiful 13 year-old female bear weighed 311 lbs and was estimated to have nearly 40% body fat when first captured and radio-collared on September 15, 2019 by the USGS scientists with the team.

And now the bear will be killed because people care more about what stories sell than the animals. It’s so sad.
