A small, oval-shaped blue container filled with water sits among rocks and fallen leaves in a forested area.

If you are an animal lover, then we found the perfect home for you. Imagine wild animals such as bears, wolves, deer, birds, raccoons, and much more casually strolling around in the forest in your backyard.

This is what you would expect from a place in the wild Canadian north where there are hardly any humans living, but that's not the case in this video. This video was taken in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Hendersonville is a stone's throw south of Asheville in North Carolina. The Blue Ridge Mountains run all the way from Georgia through Asheville all the way up to Pennsylvania. This mountain range is home to much indigenous fauna and flora.

There isn't much known about the mysterious person that posted the video. Probably to avoid nosy tourists coming to his property and disturbing these wild animals. The channel is simply called Wildlife Behind Our Home in Hendersonville, NC.

In the description, the person mentioned that they simply dug a hole alongside a wildlife trail behind their home and inserted a 15-gallon water tub, typically used for farm animals. After, they planted some ferns, hid a trail camera, and waited.

Soon the animals became familiar with the spot and returned more often when they started trusting this new gift from the mysterious nature lover. The video showcases many species approaching the waterhole at different times of the day and different seasons of the year. The first animal to make its cameo appearance in the video is a giant black bear. The big fellow looks pretty thirsty and doesn't waste a lot of time, and it goes straight for the tub and starts drinking from it.

There is a spectacular shot of the bear rearing up on its hind legs too. But that is only the start of the video. The rest of the video shows many different animals, and the viewer is left with unadulterated excitement. It is almost as if you can't wait to see what shows up next!
