Somedays, you just need to curl up on the hammock. This adorable video stars two black bear cubs that tussle with the hammock until they fall out. Black bears live throughout North America and some have gotten comfortable wandering into people's backyards to forage for food — or something to play on. Black bears are strong climbers, and they routinely climb trees and other objects to feed, escape enemies or to nap, though their abilities tend to decline with age. Adult black bears are mostly nocturnal, but juveniles are often active in daytime. The overall population of black bears in the United States has been estimated to range between 339,000 and 465,000.
