You wouldn't think this would need to be said, but officials in North Carolina are reminding people not to mess with wild animals after a group was caught on camera pulling two baby bear cubs from a tree to take selfies with them.

A bystander started recording the group outside an Asheville apartment complex, pulling the cubs from the tree and snapping photos.

Officials said one of the bears was dropped after it bit one of the people.
