People swimming at beach in Florida were understandably amazed when they realized that they were sharing the water with a black bear that had decided to take a dip with them. The weird encounter reportedly occurred on Sunday in the community of Destin and was captured on video by multiple bewildered witnesses. According to witness Chris Barron, the creature was initially spotted "out pretty far" in the Gulf of Mexico and many onlookers first thought it could be a shark or perhaps a dog.
