iN VIDEO: Wrestling bears caught on camera in Kamloops backyard

A couple of bears decided to duke it out in a Kamloops backyard early this morning.

The scrap was captured on surveillance video at around 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 9. There was no clear winner.

Tim Wourms lives next door to where the action unfolded. He’s become accustomed to the bears' presence.

“The bears come by all the time,” he said in an online exchange.

“Last year we had a mother and two cubs all through the fall. One cub loved to crawl up on our hot tub.”
