What was more surprising was as the momma bear paddled her paws in the water, three baby cubs were hitching a ride on her back. The cubs were still young and they would be exhausted before they would even reach the other side, which is why the momma bear did all the work and had all of them ride on her back.

It was just a perfect display of parenthood in animals.

The idea of protecting and caring for an offspring is ingrained in animals and humans alike. “The mother bear has always been the quintessential example of a mother’s love, and this is mainly because of their fierce, protective nature,” as told by Motherhood in Point Of Fact in their article about momma bears.

Although this isn’t true all of the time, in the case of what has been seen by Dan and Nelda, it is just right.
