Mama Bear refuses to Abandon her beloved Cubs, helps them to climb Fence
An adorable video out of Los Angeles shows a mama bear looking out for her cub by grabbing the animal with her teeth and pulling the struggling baby over a fence.
The incident happened in Monrovia, a neighborhood in northern Los Angeles, on a road near Monrovia Canyon Park around 1pm on June 12.
The 10-second clip was posted by a user named Lisette and shows the animals engaged in a playful interaction as they attempted to scale the fence.
The mama lifts her baby several feet into the air as he swings from side to side before hitting the wooden fence and begins to make the journey to the other side.
The cute clip was posted Friday and has already amassed more than 15,000 views on the social-media platform.
‘Just another day in Monrovia, CA,’ Lissette captioned the video. The mama bear at one point sits atop the fence with half her body on one side and the other half attempting to pull the cub over.
The bigger bear grabs the cub by his mane lifting him directly into the air like a claw machine before attempting to swing him over the structure. Dozens of users left comments swooning over the unbearably cute video while others weighed in on the young bear seemingly being unhelpful with his mom.
‘She’s like “can you please come on “‘ one user joked. ‘The tugging at the end to finally get him over the edge,’ wrote another user.
‘C’mon mama bear! Bigger swing next time to help him over,’ one person shared. ‘She didn’t even get his scruff, just pulled him by the scalp,’ another added. The woman who took the video told KTLA the baby bear eventually made it over the fence with its mom.
In May, DailyMail.com shared footage of a massive bear walking around a Los Angeles neighborhood unencumbered on the sidewalk and in the street.
Bear sightings are becoming increasingly common in the area and residents have been warned to take precautions as the weather heats up.
As of 2023, there are about 30,000 to 40,000 black bears statewide compared to an estimated 10,000 just 40 years ago.
Videos shared online document encounters including instances of bears breaking into local homes and roaming city streets unencumbered.
In one of the most recent attacks, a homeowner and his dog were hurt by a mother bear who was with her cub.
‘It’s more than a nuisance,’ said former Sierra Madre mayor Glenn Lambdin in an interview with KTLA.
‘And it has already gone into the danger zones. I think we’re sitting on a time bomb that’s going to explode and we don’t know when,’ Lambdin said.
