... Maybe the cub just wanted to say "hi"?
A home in Pine Brook Hills in west Boulder recently had an encounter with a persistent visitor at the door: a young bear cub.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) shared the video of the cub on Twitter, saying, "People think young bear cubs are cute & fluffy, but even a young bear like this is dangerous. Especially when it is displaying aggressive behavior like you see in this video."
Check out the video of the bear cub charging at the home below:
