Nothing to see here, just a bear riding in the backseat of a passenger car!

A motorist in the central Russian city of Yekaterinburg captured amazing video of a brown bear in the backseat of a Volga car, sticking its head out the window and playing with a human passenger.

Local police said they’re not going to cite the driver because the bear had seat belts on, and thus wasn’t breaking any laws, according to Central European News.

When the video was shot, Russia’s famed Filatov circus — which specializes in performing bears — just happened to be in town, CEN reported.

But Julia Filatova, head of the circus, said this bear in the video isn’t one of hers. Filatova also said she didn’t have any beefs with the car-riding bear.

“Our bears are much bigger. Normally little bears are kind and friendly,” she said. “If it was more than a year old it wouldn’t have fit in such a car and certainly wouldn’t have gone inside happily.”

The nearby Yekaterinburg Zoo also denied any connection to this car-riding bear.
