Wildlife photographer Taylor Thomas Albright recently stumbled upon a moment he wasn’t meant to witness—two mating bears. The problem was that they were mating right on the trail, and they blocked it for over an hour. Albright hung back and did what most people would do as he waited. He snuck a video of the wild scene.

“2026 is going to be a good year for cubs! [. . .] Lol,” Albright wrote in his post sharing the video on Instagram.

Over 1.5 million people have viewed the video so far on Instagram, and the comments section does not disappoint.
“Bear necessities,” wrote one person.
“This is beary hard work,” joked another.
“I woulda yelled ‘get a room,'” said another.
