May 31 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania man investigating a noise coming from his back yard discovered a black bear taking a dip in his garden pond.

Joel Sedeski said his wife heard a noise coming from their back yard Wednesday, so he started recording video on his cellphone and crept out onto his deck.

Sedeski ended up capturing video of the culprit -- a bear taking a swim in the couple's backyard pond to cool off from the heat.

He said the bear eventually climbed out of the water and wandered off toward a neighbor's yard.
