These two bears show us what they really do in their spare time, and it’s nothing like you thought

Meet Leo and his buddy Jimbo, they’re grizzly bears who went viral for their light-hearted horseplay. The silly bears played in the water on a sunny day, and it was caught on video.

Jimbo walks along the edge of the water, before making a huge splash while going for the bright red ball that’s floating. He plays with the ball for a second, then fishes another toy out from the bottom of the mini-lake.

Just like a playful puppy, Jimbo the Grizzly gets under the waterfall and catches water in his mouth before shaking his fur to clean off

The massive Grizzly bear seems more like a happy pooch than a ferocious bear! It’s common knowledge that bears are phenomenal fishers, but who knew they liked water so much?

Standing on his hind legs, the jolly bear repeatedly slaps the stream of water with his huge paws. Jimbo is having the time of his life, he jumps around in the water waiting for his pal to join him.

That’s when, Jimbo, grabs a rock from out of the water and starts juggling it around like a little ball.

It’s like the bear is actually making up his own games, he has a blast trying to keep the rock out of the water. Being that he has paws for hands, he has a hard time maintaining a grip of the slippery rock as he juggles it like a hot potato.

Circling back to the big red ball floating in the water, the Grizzley chases it around pushing it underwater and letting it shoot back up. You can tell he’s in his own world, he glances up at his friend Leo but he doesn’t seem to be as fond of the water.
