A group in North Carolina was caught pulling bear cubs from a tree to take a selfie with them.
The incident, which was caught on camera on April 16 and shared by ABC11 affiliate WLOS, saw the group standing outside of a Buncombe County apartment complex pulling the black cubs from the tree and turning around to take a picture with one of them.
Meanwhile, the clip also included a cub running back toward the fence.
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission special projects biologist Ashley Hobbs told the outlet that authorities were called after the video was sent to the commission on April 16.
“An apartment complex in the Fairview area, that officer did ask me to assist him in response to that, so I did get on site and I saw the cub,” Hobbs said.
