An Alaska wildlife guide posted a popular video on Instagram advising her online community to “never, ever forget to look up” while exploring Alaska’s wilderness. Can you guess what she spotted when she looked up? It’s a massive bear . . . in a tree.

“You never know who might be watching you,” wrote Brooke Bartleson in her Instagram post sharing the footage. “This is a full grown, mature adult female brown bear who climbed a tree with her cubs for an afternoon nap. Easily one of the wilder sights to see.”

In the video, Brooke slowly scans up the trunk of a tall tree. Then, she zooms in on a brown blob. The massive bear is sitting in three staring at her.
