BRILLIANT, Ohio — You never know where you might cross paths with a black bear.
According to WTRF, Teryl Heddleson was on a boat in the Ohio River early Wednesday when he spotted one of the critters leisurely swimming nearby.
“Pretty cool morning at work,” he wrote in a Facebook post about the encounter, which took place near the Cardinal Power Plant in Brilliant, Ohio. “Don’t see these every day.”
The video that accompanied the post quickly went viral, making headlines and racking up more than 52,000 views by early Thursday.
“What’s up, little guy?” a man’s voice can be heard saying as the bear paddles along.
