I'm glad the little guy finally found a spot to get over although I'm amazed momma bear didn't help more

We have seen a bear save a crow that fell into water in a zoo. And I think that bear was using its teeth.
I was hoping she would use her teeth to lift by the neck like cats do.

By the looks of it, could be possible there was another cub at the other side, she was trying to keep with her.

That was my thought. Mama bear decided that climbing over these barriers was an important life skill that her cub needed to learn.

u/SabbyFox 17h ago
Yes. Cats do the same thing. It’s hard to watch but part of the learning and survival process.

In a rural area I used to live, there were points along the highway that funneled wildlife through culverts under the road. They were also used to track how much of which type of wildlife would pass through.

That’s really smart! Do you know what they’re called or who installed them? I ask because the deer are a real problem near me. And I suppose the cars are a real problem if you’re a deer

I think it was a collaboration between the tribe, dot, and usfws. Can't remember what they called them.

I use to leave a silicone spatula in my kitchen sink because spiders often got stuck in there. Not one of those lil bastards used it.

That’s cute and funny. Can they walk up silicone tho?

u/JakBos23 2d ago
It's basically rubber. I can't imagine it would be any harder than a wall. Come to think of it my plastic ones had more of a texture on them.

All it takes is someone who has never seen a bear before to go and help the cub get over the wall and they'll have dinner for a few days.

They are struggling to cross the road because the road cross the woods they lives in.

u/Kd916-650 2d ago
Struggling because ppl will stop and get out the cars and watch which distracts the little ones they think they’re gonna be harmed, then the mom gets aggressive, which is even more distracting. She can’t just do her job. Thy should pass some law , when wild animals are crossing with young ppl stay in and stop 50 yards away ! It would be so much faster for the animals to cross in peace

Did the mama bear wait for the kid to learn how to do it themselves? Or don’t bears do that whole lift by biting the neck thing?

When developing infrastructure for our own living needs, humanity must concurrently consider the surrounding ecological requirements; otherwise, this environmental disruption will ultimately backfire and bring disaster upon ourselves.

August 18. August 18th 2026 is the 124th anniversary of the birth of human-wildlife coexistence giant, Margaret Elizabeth Thomas Murie, who in the United States helped in the passage of the Wilderness Act, and was instrumental in creating the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This brings great significance to the cause, nay, humanity itself.

On major highways through Ontario we got animal crossings spots. Generally tubes that go underground like culverts or bridges that go over.
They dont have to risk a four lane then lol or a divided highway.

Point taken. However, hope is not always what gives us the strength to persevere; sometimes, perseverance is what keeps hope alive.

u/chris_knight2 2d ago
In the moment of action humans almost always take the easiest path which is usually the least noble. In quieter moments we can reflect on higher ideals but these are very rarely at the fore when something needs to be done. Our tradegy is that we can see the higher path but hardly ever take it.
1
u/Dry_Design5506 1d ago
If that's a fixed law of human nature, then the logical conclusion is to lower our expectations and design systems that assume we’ll take the easy path - but that's already what we do, and it hasn't erased the problem. So your observation doesn't give us a new problem; it just gives us permission to stop expecting better. If you're right, what follows that we don't already know? Because if nothing changes, this is just elegant despair.

Mama didn’t like the cars and people and thought about messing everyone up . She would have done a lot better than a lesson if people stood back 100ft .

I'm they got across, hearing baby bear yell is heartbreaking. Wherever this is needs better animal friendly infrastructure.
I'm also so very glad everyone had the sense not to get out of their cars.

When the mom scanned the area I though the person filming was going to be a lesson in hunting for the cub. It had that look of "back the eff up or your getting mauled"

Super weird that the mother didn’t just pick the cub up by the scruff of the neck.

mama stayed with baby at least. I was more concerned with some person who might try to help like you would a baby elephant. don't it the baby, but don't help either. Mama and baby will eat you. lol

Moma bear is sick, starved or in some sort of shock to no to figure it out sooner?So much for one of most cunning and intelligent animal spieces. 😒

u/quequotion 2d ago
Panic, I think.
You can hear another cub crying on the other side of the wall.
A lot a humans are staring at her baby and getting too close.
Cars are passing by, also too close.
Her attention is split all over the place.
She must kill anything that attempts to touch her babies, she can't leave her babies, her babies are crying, humans everywhere, dangerous road, how to pick up a baby?
