A Port McNeil woman was lucky enough to capture a rare wildlife encounter last weekend, and her video is racking up the views on YouTube.
During a quiet night of playing Cribbage, the woman and her husband looked off their deck and spotted the pair of black bears as they made their way to the top of a large tree.
The tree is usually home to eagles, and it is suspected there may have been an eagle’s nest at the top, as footage shows a couple the birds angrily circling the cubs as they make their ascent.
Though it was originally believed that the two bears, one larger, and one smaller, were mother and cub, according to a wildlife photographer who spotted the video, one actually appears to be chasing the other.
The post has gathered nearly 30,000 views in two days on YouTube, and according to the woman who posted it, no eaglets or eggs were harmed in the filming of this video.
