Two young black bear cubs were captured having a noisy play fight while their mother calmly tucked into a fish just metres away.
Sarah Forde, from Hampshire, UK, filmed the adorable family encounter from a boat in Tofino, Canada, watching the three-to-four-month-old cubs wrestle and squabble along the shoreline for more than 30 minutes.
The footage shows the tiny bears tumbling over the rocks and chasing each other around while making surprisingly loud squeals and growls.
Meanwhile, their mother appears completely unfazed by the commotion as she focuses on eating a fish nearby.
Sarah said: "Two baby bears, three to four months old, are play fighting by the shoreline while their mama bear is busy eating a fish.
"I filmed them from a boat just a few metres away and watched them for over 30 minutes.
"The noise you can hear on film is the noise of the bears arguing."
The footage has since racked up more than five million views on Instagram, with viewers amused by the cubs' remarkably dramatic noises.
One person joked: "Every backseat on a family road trip."
Another wrote: "This is exactly what my three and five year old look and sound like."
A third added: "I was not prepared for the noises they make."
Another viewer quipped: "I know she told them to get ready for dinner about 11 times already."
