One pulls at the hammock with its teeth — perhaps as an attempt to hold onto summer just a little bit longer. Two other cubs can also be seen wrestling and sniffing around before dashing across the street with another bear — possibly the mama? — in the midst of oncoming vehicles. They do not appear to cause as much damage as the [family of bears](http://time.com/4006334/bear-cubs-pool-party-new-jersey/ "undefined") that jumped into a family’s pool and broke toys.
