TYRRELL COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - A group (or sleuth) of bears was spotted on Highway 64 near Columbia recently and new video shows even more of the furry creatures than first thought.

A motorist on Highway 64 snapped images of a sleuth of six bears in a field near the Eastern North Carolina town in Tyrrell County this weekend.

New video shared with WITN shows what appear to be seven bears. Two of the bears even stood upright and traded some shoves with one another before walking off.
