After Saving Her Drowning Cub, This Mama Bear Hugged This Man

Hanging by a thread

Try to imagine what the cubs must have been going through at this time. What goes on in a bear’s mind when their life is hanging by a thread? Sure, they may not think the way humans do, but their feelings are very real, and they were probably supremely afraid. They were treading water like their lives depended on it, even though they had never done it before. But even though hope seemed dire, very soon the changing tides would shift to their benefit.
