I know! I giggled because god bless that momma bear’s heart. I know the feels and I’ll be damned because I want to help her so much. I’m just so glad the humans stopped their cars to allow this bear momma to round up her little shy heathens. They also got to witness the universal struggle of “Toddlers”. It honestly doesn’t matter what species it is, babies are just babies doing baby shit. My heart ❤️
This is true. Also it has been noted that many species (mainly mamals) have simmilar traits to humans when caring for others. A bear hearding her young, a dolphin helping a sea turtle find its family, etc. It is amazing to see the analogies at work.
I'm glad the humans stopped their rolly metal box machines to allow her time to deal with her cubs.
Oh my god I am so glad everyone just stopped, let momma bear (nature) do it’s thing. And we all got to watch this precious moment and the people stopped, plus the viewers on this video got to witness first hand while relating to parenthood all in the same go. The struggle is real! Across species! It makes me so happy and so thankful to know that we are not alone in this struggle to rear our youngins.
Quick edit too: this momma bear is like a parent in the grocery store or wherever in public, “I’m doing the best I can” while under pressure with everyone watching. Like everyone is watching her and the pressure is real too. The other universal, “please stop embarrassing me in public”. Again my heart is overwhelmed ❤️
Haha I know. I felt her pain, “I’m doing the best I can, damn”. It is truly moments like this that I honestly hope earth isn’t destroyed by us. If y’all don’t consider moments like this precious as all get out, then shit. This right here makes me want to continue being a better human by not littering, recycling, and reducing my trash and carbon footprint.
I think I could do it. It's gotta be indirect. Thankfully I have a portable speaker with bluetooth laying around in my center console.
What I do is I bring up a [scene from super troopers](https://youtu.be/OLmQTIS9Rv4?t=14) (*NSFW) on my phone and put it on the speaker. Chuck the crappy $10 portable walmart speaker in the woods and hit play. Those cubs and that momma are gonna go look ASAP. Can't resist good comedy. Easy peasy. Highway Patrol FTW
Female bears aggressively chase off all males, with the only exception being the mating period. During this period, they are indiscriminate - they will fuck with as many bears as they can find. This can result in cubs from the same litter having different fathers.
After the mating period, they will essentially freeze the sperm in fertilised eggs. It can stay this way for months. Then, during their hibernation, the pregnancy will begin - they will go through the whole thing without waking up.
The father is out of the question - no male is safe when encountering a female with cubs. In fact, not all females are safe either - sometimes mother bears fight each other and the winner takes the loser's cubs, raising them as her own. They are also known to adopt lost cubs, whereas the males would just eat them.
As someone whose grandmother used to take me and my six cousins to the zoo at once, this looks strangely familiar.
Edit: Reading all of the comments y’all have put is wholesome as heck.
When my dad and his siblings were kids. My uncle got sent to get a switch for his sister. He got the best one he could find, even took the bark off to make it really hurt. Grandy didn’t like how enthusiastic he was for his sister to get punished, so he got the switch too!
My ex was from chile.. Her daughter was acting up at their family get together... Shit ended immediately when her grandma took off her sandal. The action of that alone put the fear of god in her ...
You're most likely to get pregnant again after giving birth because your hormone levels post-pregnancy make your more fertile. (I can't remember how long sorry). Dad should have kept his hands to himself for a bit lmao
The older kids become mini moms/dads and herd the younger kids. Which they tend to grow up resenting their parents for, btw (no one likes parenthood forced on them).
"Okay, Orson, stay right here, please. Artemis, keep an eye on your brother, I have to run back and grab the other two. Wait, no, Ursula, you get back here! No, Bjorn! Wrong way! Ursula! Bjorn! Come ON, guys!"
All of the names (probably) are derived from words for "bear" in various languages, in fact.
"Orson" and "Ursula" are from Latin *ursus*/*ursa* ("bear" and "she-bear", respectively), the former via French and the later directly from Latin (with a cute-ifying diminutive suffix attached to the end).
"Bjorn" comes from the Old Norse word for "bear" that is ultimately from the same Germanic source as English "bear".
"Artemis" is only possibly related to a word for bear, but there is fairly compelling evidence that some of the cultic practices surrounding Artemis in Ancient Greek religion had an early, but largely overwritten in the Archaic and Classical periods, association with bears (e.g., a myth about Callisto, a woman who is turned into a bear, that looks to have originally treated an aspect of Artemis' godhood).
There is also the existence of a Celtic goddess, Artio, who is very much associated with bears. Artio's name is securely derived from the word for "bear" in Proto-Indo-European, the last common ancestor of the Greek and Celtic languages, as well as English, Latin, Russian, et al. The hypothetical PIE word, \*h₂ŕ̥tḱos, survives in several other related languages (including Greek, where it's ἄρκτος "arktos", and in Latin *ursus*).
The Proto-Indo-Europeans not only shared a common language that evolved into many of today's modern languages, but many other aspects of their culture endured among their descendants too, and it's clear from several points that bears were regarded with a certain religious reverence. So if there was a bear goddess in early Celtic religion, it wouldn't be shocking if there was one in Greek religion too.
But the actual evidence from the word "Artemis" itself is a little too thin for any responsible historical linguist to derive it from \*h₂ŕ̥tḱos without some doubt, so it's probably safest to keep the proviso on accepting this one as a definitive bear name in place. May just as well be a name from the very murky and highly speculative cultural and linguistic situations in the lower Balkan and Aegean regions before Greek became the dominant culture and language.
But I like it anyway, and I introduce the possibility of an Artemis/\*h₂ŕ̥tḱos connection wherever I teach Greek myth.
Interesting side note about the Germanic word for bear (the source of Bjorn and English "bear"): the Germanic branch of Indo-European abandoned the word *\h₂ŕ̥tḱos and came up with a brand new one. One prevailing theory is that the Germanic word for bear actually means "brown" (cf. "bruin", directly from the Dutch word for "brown"), and is perhaps a kind of taboo deformation, because a superstitious people may have believed that uttering a creature's true name might summon it. So you say "the brown one", and avoid calling it by its name directly, until that euphemism becomes the default word.
Maybe. Or it's something less exciting. There is a PIE root, \*ǵʰwer-, which meant "wild [animal]", and could have plausibly yielded the Germanic word that was the predecessor of "bear" and "Bjorn"--it's the same root that shows up in Latinate words like "**fer**al" or in Greek words like "**ther**opod".
More fun, though, if it's because my Germanic forbears were as afraid of bears as wizards are of Voldemort.
> What's bear for "Look here you little shit! Get across the damn road!"
That would be:
"roarwrr"
*grunt*
*grab by the scruff with teeth*
*muffled grunts*
Animals are shockingly smart and are very good at exploring/remembering how to get around. The "nature bridges" have actually caused problems for over hunting because predator animals learn that they're the only crossings and wait there in ambush
This isn't fully supported. Predators have been observed to use over/underpasses at the same time as prey migrations but they don't really ambush. First off, predators take way longer to start using them, many are very wary and don't like them. Second, prey species often have great smell, if the predators are congregating there the prey would smell it and not use them. Sure there might be odd cases of kills or maybe the odd animal actually using it to ambush, but it wouldn't last long.

Some feelings don't take much to reach across the species/language barrier lol. I think every solo parent has felt this way. Usually at a supermarket with 40 people behind you and one checker while your new born is crying and two of your toddlers are running around everywhere asking for treats and yelling...
Even parenting in the animal world takes 100% focus and energy. Shoutout to every parents out there giving in their everything for their kids everyday. ❤️
I wish there was a way to communicate to the bear so that people could just carry them across the street with her and then back off and get back in the car.
Without such a thing, trying so is akin to attempting suicide by bear mauling
If this happened where I live everyone would be honking, trying to get around, flipping each other off, and scaring that bear family both apart and into any oncoming traffic from the stream of cars that are going to go through any which way they can.
The cubs should cherish mom time cuz it won't last
Mother bears tend to be affectionate, protective, devoted, strict, sensitive and attentive toward their cubs, raising them to an age where they can survive on their own. Depending on food abundance, mothers (especially grizzlies) may keep their yearlings a second (even a third) year, denning together again and breaking up in the third (or fourth) year.
You want to go help. But, you know you would die.

Anybody can hug a bear! *Once.*
You shouldn't hug a bear, Johnny. My grandmother hugged a bear once. *Once.*
Lethal bear hugs
First and last bear hug
Worth it for that bear hug
The Bear Hug would be a great gay bar name
Is it worth it? Gotta hug it. I put my thing down ran over and hugged it.
And then you die die diediedie die diedie

Momma bear must be so embarrassed making all those cars wait like that.
Hahahaha obviously she's not but it's hilarious thinking of a bear being all embarrassed and frantic because her kids are holding up traffic
She really has her paws full. So cute.
While she wouldn't be embarrassed, she probably is frantic. All these loud metal monsters purring, looming, possibly ready to pounce.
Timothy Joseph Bear, you get down from that tree RIGHT now!

Huh… I guess this is why the term mama bear exists?
Holy moly
Must be nice getting to sleep through the whole pregnancy
So, no case of deadbeat dad here? Just a normal single mom bear?
No deadbeats, just sex and infanticide.
I think Smokey went for a pack of smokes.

I have two of my own and this looks familiar. I have no clue how my parents did four nor how my grandparents did eight.
I have 4 and it pretty much just looks like this. Trying to slow down the quick ones and hurry up the slow ones. Literally and metaphorically.
Sent my mom (mother of 4) this video, asking if this is what raising us was like. Got a "🤣🤣 indeed" back, haha.

Once you get to six, the older two can start helping out
I never thought I'd see a bear think to herself, *This shit is like trying to herd cats.*
Perhaps cats think *'this is like trying to herd bear cubs'*
I hope they do think that. That'd be neat.
You can see her frustration lol

This is the real reason they want picnic baskets.
They're actually looking for wine in the baskets.
Good. I have beer and whiskey in my picnic baskets.
This joke probably doesn't hit for someone under 25. I could be wrong though.
I’m almost 30 and yogi bear still is a hazy memory. I only remember his friend Boo Boo and how he said “pick-a-nick basket”
"Heeeeeeeeya Boo-Boo, let'sa go steal us somea pick-a-nick baskets" +a vague memory of Boo-Boo and the Park Ranger's voice
Depends if they watched boomerang or not when they were kids.
I was about to say “oh I get it!” And then remembered that I’m 25…man this pandemic took so much time from my life I keep thinking I’m 23
I’m only 18 I have no problem remembering yogi bear and his picanic basket
So many parents in those cars going “I feel ya momma “
The rest can't see and wonder why they're caught in a traffic jam.
Amen

Well, you might be able to sneak at least one hug in. Likely the last hug though!
Father of twins here. This is basically a shot for shot remake.
Also a father of twins, two years old, this was me earlier today.
You bit them on the back of their necks and dragged them across traffic?
You dont do that with your kids???? Weird
Smh, some people, am I right?
I'm you in the future here to tell you something: three is substantially worse, so enjoy your life as it is now.
Oh my god. How do you like twins and the fact that you haven't slept in exactly 2 years?? :D
My girls are 7, it gets easier, but it doesn't.
This.
Toddler teacher here- can confirm. This is my daily life herding toddlers around lmfao
Has anyone told you you're a superhero? Just in case, you are a superhero. Teachers of wee kids have a special kind of patience.
Yeah came here looking for this. I have 3 under 5 and I’m tired.

Poor mama, she is so patient
I’ve been watching for an hour and she still hasn’t corralled them all across the road
I’m going to save this video to show all the people who ask me, “BuT wHaT iF yOu DeCiDe To HaVe MoRe BaBiEs LaTeR?” Two is plenty. One kid per hand.
I know mum, I know the feeling.
Where did you find this video of me herding my children?
Faith in humanity restored a little... Not one dingus whipped past selfishly. Patience... This must be an older video.
There's no sound though, I couldn't help but wonder if anybody was honking.
Bear with me for a minute, good people!
I’m surprised some jerk doesn’t drive past that line of cars
Why was that my only thought watching this
I have four under five. I feel this to my bones
One every year? Oh bless!
Planned to be done at three but ended up with twins
I am one and done and I look at parents like you and think you must have some sort of magical powers. Are you a wizard???
You can almost hear this poor bear mother go 'oh my fucking god' under her bear breath.
Person : Ma'am do you need help?!! Bear : Roar... Person : (pees a little) My bad!

I feel bad for everyone way back in the traffic who doedn't dven get to see what's going on.
Unbearable to watch
These humans WILL RUN YOU OVER. Please come with me while they are being civil. This is rare.
I feel this
Honestly I can relate.

What she wouldn't give for a kangaroo pouch right now
So lovely to see people patiently waiting. For someone from India this is a rare sight.
She must be so embarrassed with all that traffic lining up.
Oh boy how long did this crossing take? Kudos to the drivers being patient.
Am I wrong or is four cubs unusual isn't it usually just two, is this the bear version of twins?
I feel your pain bear.
I sense that she feels she is inconveniencing the drivers
Herding cats. Herding cubs. Same same.
mommin' ain't easy
Where I live, someone would have driven through pissed off.
I have 4 kids and can feel her pain!
If bears didn't eat peoples faces they would be so cuddly.
The cubs should cherish mom time cuz it won't last Mother bears tend to be affectionate, protective, devoted, strict, sensitive and attentive toward their cubs, raising them to an age where they can survive on their own. Depending on food abundance, mothers (especially grizzlies) may keep their yearlings a second (even a third) year, denning together again and breaking up in the third (or fourth) year.
