This is the moment two wild bears started playing with a football that they stole from locals — before taking it off into the jungle.
The mother and her cub were at the entrance to the jungle when the youths accidently kicked the ball over to them while playing a village football match.
That’s when the black bears decided to have some fun of their own.
In the video, the mother can be seen dribbling with the ball while the cub tries desperately to tackle her.
After playing with the ball for some time, the mother then puts the football in her mouth and disappears off into the jungle.
The video was filmed in Sukigaon in the Nabarangpur district of eastern India.
It has since gone viral and been viewed and shared thousands of times.
