Watch: Bears adorably fail at mastering hammock

A family from New Jersey filmed a family of bears try to take on their backyard hammock, and adorably failing.

From the safety of her home, with the family dog growling in the background, Carol Harrington filmed the furry trespassers.

Harrington told Lehighvalleylive.com that it has been 13 years since the family has had any bear sightings on their property.

The Aug. 23 visit by a mother bear and her two cubs made up for it, as the cubs try to climb atop the hammock, with limited success.

After a few minutes, the family shooed the bears away when it appeared the mother bear might get her head caught in the hammock’s netting.

It's been a summer of fun for bears. A family of bears taking a dip in a family's backyard pool went viral last month.
