A cinnamon-colored black bear visited a back porch in La Cañada, California, to play with a punching bag, and footage of the bear has gone viral. In the video shared by KTLA 5 News, a small bear walks up to the hanging punching bag, tries to grab it, and then starts batting at it, making it swing. The bear then climbs onto the porch railing to get to the swinging bag. The homeowner said she’s familiar with this bear, and it has done similar things on her property before.

“A KTLA viewer residing in La Cañada sent in video of what she calls a ‘boxing bear’ — one that seems to have taken a liking to the punching bag on her back porch,” wrote KTLA 5 in an Instagram post sharing the video.
