A Mother's Love Spans Species: Mama Bear Helps Another Mama Bear

Wordless Wednessday: Motherly Support Proven Even in the Wild

You've probably heard the phrase, "It takes a village" to raise our children. That phrase isn't lost on large fuzzy mammals in nature, either.

In our pick for this week's Wordless Wednesday, here is proof that the power of a mother's love not only spans species but that when danger arises, even in nature, mothers are there for one another.

In the video, a young wonan sees that three baby cubs have gotten trapped in a trash bin.

The cubs' mama bear paces nervously.

The young woman is seen in the back of a truck being driven to the bin and lowering a ladder in, then quickly scooting away.

Sure enough, the cubs manage to get themselves out, one after the other and walk away with their mom, unharmed.

While this was probably a dangerous undertaking, it was also a very loving act, don't you think?
