iN VIDEO: Cubs practice climbing in Okanagan with mama bear keeping a watchful eye

A black bear and her two cubs were spotted playing in a Peachland backyard this week.

Mom stood at the base of one tree while her cubs practiced climbing.

Karli-Anne and Colin Aves watched it unfolded right outside of their living room window.

“The family has been moving around Peachland for the last few weeks,” Karli-Anne said.

“This was the first time we’ve had them in our yard. Was so amazing to see them close up like that.”
