WATCH: Playful Bears Wrestle, Snack And Relax In Steamboat Springs
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) -- Two playful bears were caught on camera wrestling, snacking and relaxing near a condominium complex in Steamboat Springs this week. Resident Shannon Lukens said she recorded the video from inside her car -- and used a zoom lens.
Lukens said she heard a pair of bears were outside the Pines at Ore Grove on Monday afternoon.
"I drove over there and found them relaxing in the sunshine, then taking a break to wrestle around, and then taking a food break and eating some crab apples out of the trees. They were very happy and relaxed bears," Lukens told CBS4. "And as always, I was safely in my car getting the shot with a zoom lens."

Right now, bears in Colorado are especially active -- searching for the 20,000 calories a day they need to consume before they hibernate.
