Two bears were spotted battling it out in a Massachusetts home's backyard this month in a fight that was caught on camera.
The home's owner in Sturbridge shared cellphone video of the tussle with NBC10 Boston. She said she spotted the brawl after noticing that one of her family's outdoor pumpkins had been moved.
In the video of the encounter, the two bears jump at, bite and batte at each other while on their hind legs — all to the evident delight of one of the kids who lives at the home, who yells out, "They're hugging!"

A second video on the family's Backyard Wonders YouTube page shows the conclusion of the battle — one bear tries to retreat into the woods, only for the other to chase it down and jump on top.
Sturbridge is on the edge of black bears' range in Massachusetts, though in recent years they have expanded east, towards I-495, according to the state.
