Grizzly Bear Belly Flops Into Pool, Then Turns Around And Smiles At Camera

Bruiser is a rescued grizzly bear and a resident of Single Vision, a nature conservation center in Melrose, Florida that cares for and protects endangered species. Because the temperatures here can easily reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit during this time of year, one of Bruiser’s favorite pastimes is belly flopping into the swimming pool.

Though the adorable video is a bit old, it never fails to bring a smile to everyone’s face. It was a hot summer day when Bruiser decided to go swimming. To be more specific, a belly flop! Fortunately for us, an animal welfare worker decided to film the entire scene, including the bear’s epic smile at the end.

The video was eventually uploaded to the internet and, predictably, quickly went viral. Anyway, we don’t think words can adequately describe how endearing this bear can be. Millions of people have watched this video, which is understandable. What better inspiration than Bruiser to remind us to enjoy our summer?
