Unaware B.C. cyclists compete in race while black bear eats berries in a tree

A hungry black bear enjoying a delicious snack from above was a surprise spectator during a recent race in British Columbia.

Andy Weststeyn was filming cyclists competing in the MEC Triathlon Sprint in Coquitlam, B.C., on Sept. 10 when he spotted an unusual onlooker perched in some trees overlooking the race.

Video shows the bear enjoying a meal of fresh berries in some tree branches located right above the racetrack, all while the competitors passing below remain completely oblivious of its presence.

The peckish animal appears to finally get its fill and eventually climbs down from the tree and carries on its way.
