A grizzly bear living at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado enjoyed a pristine snow day, relaxing and even catching tiny snowflakes on its tongue. The zoo shared footage of the bear, Emmett, doing this at the end of last week, and people loved it.

In the video, you see the large bear reclining against a snow bank, its arms casually by its sides. It sways its head back and forth, flicking its long tongue out of its mouth repeatedly. The bear appears to have no cares in the world as it enjoys the ice-cold zing of snowflakes on its tongue.
“10/10 snowflake catching technique, Emmett. Very comfy. Very efficient,” wrote Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in its Instagram caption sharing the video.
Commenters say the video made their day.
