Enjoys his downtime thoroughly but ambles after a few minutes

Gazing out into her back garden, Melissa Wagner from Alaska is shocked to see this rather strange sight.

Falling about on her lawn is what seems to be an enormous black bear.

But the wild creature isn't acting in a threatening manner. He is oblivious to his surroundings and is more interested in playing!

Bear necessities?: The black bear is completely taken with the inflatable and tries to put it on

Unfortunately for the bear, the inflatable doesn't fit, even though he lies on his back and tries to squeeze it on

Spotting Melissa's daughter's inflatable, the bear is engrossed in his new toy.

And he seems to be having a ball!

Bounding towards a dilapidated treehouse with his toy firmly in his mouth. the clever bear tries to put on the yellow jacket.

But he very quickly loses it behind the tree and is rather confused.

Not to worry! He soon finds it and the games continue as he tosses it around a few more times.

Bored with the inflatable, the bear then ambles over to the swing set and tries to get on it a swing.

It's all swings and roundabouts: The wild animal shows a softer side as he tries to get on the swing

Desperate to have a go, he tries again to but is ultimately unsuccessful as the swing gets away from him again

He pushes the swing and as it comes towards him, he tries clamber on.

But the seat proves too slippery and keeps slipping away from his paws. He tries to get a firm grip with his teeth but soon tires of the swing and bounds off towards the slide.

He is uninterested in the slide though and looks around in a bored manner, as if assessing his surroundings.
