A viral video claiming that a bear was spotted in downtown Denver has accumulated millions of views and thousands of comments discussing wildlife danger in the city. But the animal in the video was actually a beaver, says Miles Ifie, the man who recorded and posted the clip online.
“I knew it was a beaver when I posted,” Ifie admits. “I did not think it was a bear.”
