Bear Cub Goes Back for Smaller Sibling

Occurred on June 25, 2022 / Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada

: "While driving through Riding Mountain National Park my family and myself witnessed an amazing sight as a mother black bear and her tiny cub decided to cross the highway in front of us. The young cub reluctantly followed its mother and stopped several times. The mother bear then came back onto the highway to find out what was the hold-up. The little cub then dashed back to the opposite side of the road and moments later returned accompanying its smaller sibling who was too afraid to cross the highway alone! Reunited, the mama bear and her babies continued on, into the safety of the trees. I live near this area and often see black bears but this was the first time I had witnessed something as heartwarming and amazing as a little bear cub running back to help its smaller sibling who was afraid to cross the highway alone! It just shows how awesome it is to be cared for and loved by family !"
