Mother nature gives shelter to many wild animals and one of the wildest and fiercest species that take refuge in nature is that of bears. Migration season led this particular family of bears to cross a river. However, the cubs proved to be incapable of doing so at such a tender age and what happened next in that river is heartbreaking and awe-inspiring at the same time.
Just like the mother of any species, mother bears have strong maternal instincts. They are fierce in protecting their cubs and go to all lengths for their protection. So if one thinks of getting near her or her family, one needs to have some extra portions of liquid luck so as to come back alive with all limbs intact. In this incident, however, approaching them was a matter of life.
The bewildering incident that is about to be unfolded, happened when a mother bear decided to cross the Lake Vygozero with her two cubs. It might have been for migration or because the family was looking for food. It is important to note that the temperature there can go down to -20 degrees. It can be imagined how cold the water must have been in which the cubs almost drowned. The family of the bears started crossing the extremely cold river and the mother realized too late that her cubs were not grown up enough to swim across the flowing cold river. She apparently overestimated her babies capability for long distance travel. The heavy current of the river started tearing the family apart and the bears grew anxious to be with each other.
