A family of bears, including a mother and her four cubs, was observed in the Laeva hunting area of Estonia on Thursday. The sighting occurred near the Tallinn-Tartu highway, approximately 900 meters from the roadway. The encounter was captured on video by a member of the Tartu public, who shared the footage on social media through the Estonian Hunting Association.

The video depicts the bear family playing in the snow, a scene that prompted significant attention. The individual who filmed the bear was utilizing a camera trap set in the Laeva area. Authorities confirmed the bear family’s presence following the initial report.

“We are monitoring the situation closely,” stated a representative from the Estonian Hunting Association. “This is a rare and noteworthy event, highlighting the increasing presence of bears in areas previously considered remote.”
