A video captured two cubs and their mother bear lounging in the backyard of a N.J. family's house.

As Yogi Bear would say, these are smarter than just your av-er-age bears.

A video captured two cubs and their mother bear lounging in the backyard of what nj.com says is a Warren County family’s house.

Carol Harrington of Washington said she shot the video last month from her Lenape Trail home, telling nj.com, “You can’t capture this cuteness in a photograph.” Harrington said.

The Harringtons noticed the bears about 9 a.m. after they heard their dog growling; Carol said she then videotaped for about two minutes, telling nj.com: “We finally shooed them away because the mother started sticking her head through the hammock and we didn’t want her to get stuck.”

The video is reminiscent of a post from last month that showed one mother bear and all five of her cubs taking a dip in a Rockaway Township home’s backyard pool.
