Drone camera captures bear waking up from hibernation

This is the moment that a bear was captured waking up from its hibernation on a drone camera that was looking for a missing man.

Estonian non-for-profit group MTÜ L.E.I.A was searching for a man reported missing near Tartu, when they spotted a bear playing in the snow.

Footage shared by the group on 7 March shows the bear rolling around and digging in the snow in the middle of a forest. The drone footage was taken at a height of 80 meters, so that the device didn't disturb the animal, the group said in the statement.

It added that the location of the missing person was still unknown.
