Grizzly bear sightings are among the top highlights for visitors to Alaska’s Denali National Park and Preserve.
This is especially true when the bears become curious or playful, such as the young grizzly in the accompanying footage.
Grizzly bear plays with traffic cone.
The footage, featured this week by ViralHog, shows the bear picking up one of two traffic cones marking a sink hole and dropping the cone into the hole. (Click here if video player does not appear below.)
The cone vanishes and the bear looks as though it had just lost its favorite toy, as laughter erupts among the tour group.

As the bear’s head disappears into the hole, one tourist remarks, “Oh, he’s gonna go in for it. Oh my god!”
The outcome is unclear but it appears as though the bear did not retrieve its toy, and the sink hole was left marked with only one cone.
An estimated 300 to 350 grizzly bears inhabit the north side of the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve. Sightings are not guaranteed, but bears are often spotted from or even on the park’s main road.
