Imagine going out on a tour, hoping to see a grizzly bear, and then you see two—wrestling. One tour group in Alaska got to witness this incredible scene up close, and a video of the wrestle match between the two bears has gone viral.

Nicholas Peters, who operates an air-taxi service for just this sort of experience, captured the footage. He posted it on Instagram, and the internet took over, sending his video far and wide.
“Wildlife in Alaska can be pretty amazing!” Peters wrote in his Instagram post sharing the footage.
Some people in the comments section believe the tour group was too close to the bears.
“I don’t understand why anyone would be so close to such powerful ferocious wild animals. You can’t outrun them, or fight them off,” wrote one person in Peters’ comment section.
To this, Peters replied: “These were too young juvenile bears that were play fighting/roughhousing. No real winner or loser, just play fighting after eating a bunch of clams on the sand flats.”
