Webcam video posted to Facebook Thursday by the National Park Service shows a black bear poking its head out from a tree as it awakes.
According to the park, black bears usually wake from hibernation as the weather becomes warmer and food becomes available in early to mid-March.
Most black bears will leave the area of the den within a week after waking up, but females with newborn cubs may remain close by for several more weeks, the park said.
