One black bear in Florida prefers to bring in the weekend not by raging, but instead with a nice, relaxing lounge in a hammock.

Local resident Rafael Torres caught this totally chilled-out bear climbing into a hammock on Thursday night in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The bear really did, apparently, just want to relax. When asked about approaching it for the photo, Torres told local NBC affiliate WESH that he was about 60 feet away when he took the photos and the bear didn't seem to care. Instead, it just kept lounging.

Torres said the bear stayed in the hammock for about 20 minutes before going back into the woods -- a quick rest before heading back to bear world to attack the weekend.

Good for you, chill bear.
