A black bear was caught on a Florida home's surveillance camera asserting its dominance over the home's Christmas reindeer decor.

EJ Elvin's home surveillance equipment picked up the humorous exchange at his home in Longwood, Florida in the middle of the night.

Around 3:42 a.m., Elvin's Ring camera captured the black bear curiously approaching three lit-up reindeer Christmas decorations. 

The large bear is seen sniffing out the first lit up reindeer before swiftly knocking it down with his paw.
