A huge grizzly bear was captured enjoying a refreshing dip in an Alaskan bay - just feet away from fishermen and tourists.

Steve Mead, 64, was taking a tour through Redoubt Bay, Tyonek, Alaska, when he spotted the bear swimming near a waterfall.

The video shows the wild grizzly bear plunging in and out of the lake in front of a boat before leaving and heading into the forest.

Steven said that the people watching on the water’s edge were surprised that the salmon fishers and their boat were able to get so close to the bear.

This video was filmed in July 2022.
