Bhubaneswar: Two wild bears are seen playing with football in Sukhigaon village in Nabarangpur, Odisha.
The incident has been captured in viral videos.
The incident was reported from the village of Sukhigaon under the Umerkote Nabarangpur block on Sunday.
A group of children who play soccer on the open field in the village saw two wild bears approached them, and fled panic, leaving football on the ground.
According to the video, the bear mother was seen kicking football to her child and waited to return the ball.

We fled leaving football.
We will be surprised to see them playing,” said a boy, who was playing in the field.
