SEE IT: 2 bears 'hanging out' in Longwood

It's definitely not the first time residents of the Springs located in Longwood to see bears, but it's definitely not common to see them in broad daylight.

"I came out and heard a snapping of branches above me and as soon as I looked up, I see the mother bear and her baby," said one neighbor.

Another neighbor said, "We put the dogs outside in the yard and they start barking like crazy. Well wouldn't you know why, there's two bears up in our tree!"

The mother and cub resorted to staying in the shade and trees, most likely to avoid the heat.

Most residents nearby understand the general rule: leave the bears alone, and the bears won't bother you.

In the meantime, let's admire those adorable round ears on that cub.
