This week’s Village Wild video series, presented by Dietrich Law, showcases an extraordinary moment when hikers stumbled upon a bear enjoying a serene bath in the wilds of British Columbia.
In a video that has captivated social media users, hiker Sarah Boland captured footage of a bear leisurely bathing in a pond during her trek near Elfin Lakes in the Squamish area. The bear appears completely at ease, splashing water and soaking in the tranquil environment, seemingly oblivious to the nearby observers.
Boland shared the encounter on TikTok, describing it as a "once in a lifetime experience." The video quickly went viral, amassing over 650,000 views and sparking a flurry of amazed and appreciative comments from viewers.
