Temperatures in the British Columbia interior have been confusing for some slumbering bears.
Most people assume bears are asleep for the entire winter, but that isn't always the case - especially when temperatures are warmer than usual.
That's been the case in parts of B.C. at certain points this year, like Golden, which has seen average daily temperatures around the freezing mark - that's about 10 degrees warmer than usual.
It's no wonder some of the bears are confused.
Watch the video above to learn more about the weather this season and what B.C.'s hibernating bears have been up to.
