Chances of spotting bears in Alaska’s Denali National Park are not impossible, but pretty rare. So, what’s the chance you’d see a bear barrel rolling down a hill?

A fun-loving grizzly playing up to the camera was captured on video enjoying himself in Denali National Park.

In the background, tourists can be heard laughing amid the clicks of digital cameras.

The video begins with a close up of the bear as he stumbles then realizes that rolling down the hill was way more fun.

He may be in training for the Olympic Downhill.

He was doing a Bearel roll.

The video was taken by private park attendees, not by Fox.

I was thinking the same thing. When bears attack, I love to run to cliff, jump off while clinging back to the cliff, and watch the bear fly over my head.

Bears just want to have fun and this griz was doing just that.

I once watched a mother Brown Bear and her two newborn cubs slide down a snow-covered slope on their butts on Kodiak Island.

I used to do that as a kid ... until I rolled through some dog crap.

So he kept doing the barrel rolls and we were laughing and taking pictures. We didn't know that he just cutting down the distance until he charged and ate the guy up front.

That’s the same technique used by ancient Indians in hunting Buffalo.

Sounds like something that Gary Larson would've featured in The Far Side.

I got a chuckle out of that. That's what I was thinking. Outsiders thinking how cute Teddy is until he charges.
