Indeed, it really is so cute that you’ll momentarily forget how much you don’t actually want to pet a grizzly bear.

The U.S. Department of the Interior shared the video a couple of winters ago, but it’s still making the rounds online. Trent Sizemore Photography captured the footage, which shows a small-ish brown bear lying in the snow, rolling around in it, and doing other adorable things.
The spectacle even attracts a bird’s notice at one point. A black bird walks up, stops, and watches the bear for a bit before continuing on its way.
