SUDBURY, Ontario, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A family of black bears climbed to the top of a small tree in a neighborhood in Ontario, Canada, to enjoy a quick meal.

Megan Sigurdson shared video of the family of four bears snacking in a crab apple tree as she drove through her neighborhood.

"One Mama and three Cubs. They stayed for about 20 minutes eating the apples in and around the tree," she said.

Sigdurson told the CBC it was not uncommon to see bears in the area, but she had never seen them in the neighborhood trees before.

"I was wondering how they were all supported on the tree without breaking it," she said. "They were on really small branches. I don't understand how it worked."

Once the bears finished their snack they went off "on their merry way," according to Sigdurson.
