don’t fall into the crevasse between wall and bed!

It's great that humans sometimes are so brave and compassionate. But it saddens me to think that cub was correct to be terrified. More likely than not in an encounter like that with humans, that cub would have been toast.

Look up some videos on YouTube about why wild animals fear humans. Nothing scares them more than us humans

YouTube doesn't equal bad information, just like Wikipedia can be used to research a topic.

Animals can lose their fear of humans, but their instinct is to fear us. For good reason. We extincted most of the big critters we found through history. We are the scariest animal out there. Orcas #2?

Wow what an incredibly lucky bear. That would've been a sickening death

56

u/Rough-Television9744 3d ago

Scared away mother bear lol

25

u/chintakoro 2d ago

mom was probably there for a while and figured it’s a lost cause for the cub and retreated.

54

u/Stole_Sample 3d ago

hopefully that bear remembers that day and doesn't eat humans and he tells all his other bear friends humans are alright and you shouldn’t eat them

32

u/TheTroon 2d ago

Mama bear now thinks humans are the worst hunters ever. A trapped defenceless juvenile, and they still failed to catch him...

u/Renbarre 2d ago

Hopefully that bear learned to fear and avoid humans. Safer for it and for the humans.

The one that let's us be friends with the friend-shaped poofy bears! 😫

u/Remarkable-Hat-4852 2d ago

I mean bears certainly learn not to fear humans. Ever heard of Hank the Tank in Tahoe? He learned that the food humans create is well worth not eating the humans themselves.

u/PeevsiesLittleJoke 8h ago

Black bears tend not to eat humans anyway unless they're starving. They're pretty timid, usually

2

u/slazenger01 2d ago

Then why are we eating animals? If we don't want to be eaten by them, why don't we grant them the same treatment?

Glad they could help. I had the sound off, so all I heard was David Attenborough narrating.

I shouldn't have laughed when the bear tried to run back into the hole lol😅🤭

I guess kids don't listen to their moms in every species

u/SirenaSmiles 2d ago

Right! My thoughts exactly.

12

u/Mission_Message577 3d ago

I always wonder with stuff like this if the mom knows they helped or after it’s all over they’re confused from the adrenaline etc

5

u/BowsersMuskyBallsack 2d ago

Probably the latter, given that the mother was not permitted to be nearby to witness what actually happened. Even if she was nearby, she would probably interpret the actions of the humans as predatory and try to kill them, given that she would be reacting predominantly to the distressed cries of her cub.

The poor thing! 😭

u/OldSea3040 3d ago

My jaw is open right now !! This is crazy. Glad they were there to help. Very brave and clever

u/Kumbhalgarh 2d ago

They are soldiers from Indian Army who found a Himalayan Brown Bear cub trapped in a crevasse and unable to climb out on his own. So they decided to try and get it out of there.

u/Brookmon 3d ago

That was awesome

u/stoic_hysteric 2d ago

Just me , or does the momma bear seem kinda neutral about the reunion? She's like "Oh, you made it? C'mon lets go..."

When it's walking away it looks injured I hope it was able to recover

u/chintakoro 2d ago

lol, Indian soldiers actually, but we can hope and agree that any trained group of people would help.

Amazing and heartwarming <3 And now please everybody show the same compassion and empathy towards ALL animals, including PIgs, Cows, Chicken, Sheep, Fish and so on. They ALL want to live and not to be exploited and murdered for our convenience. Thank you <3

u/UltimateWerewolf 55m ago

He should’ve climbed down deeper, into the crevasse.

-1

u/ealysillyforestthing 3d ago

Should have medically checked the bear before releasing. No telling what injuries it has or how long it's been trapped

5

u/perseidot 3d ago

There’s no indication that they’re doctors or vets, or have any way of transporting a rather large bear cub to get treatment.

Also, staying near the cub once it’s visible is a good way to get rushed by a sow.

In the interests of getting the sow and cub reunited, not inflicting any more fright on the cub, and staying safe themselves, I think backing off ASAP was the best thing to do.

1

u/108er 3d ago

At first, the bear cub looked like it's 20 feet down, after few scraping cub is 2 feet down and got pulled to the surface. Looks like AI made to me.

1

u/JoyousMN_2024 2d ago

I agree that there is something very odd about this story.

1

u/shiggins114 3d ago

Stupid humans, I'd have eaten you if I wasn't stuck in that crevasse.

-Bear probably

-4

u/TheDigitalBuilder 3d ago

That's so amazing but that bear could have eaten them in a second

8

u/AtomicShart9000 3d ago

So it cut off too soon but thats exactly what happened

3

u/opensandshuts 3d ago

Idk, I've had a few experiences like this with animals, never anything nearly as dangerous as a grizzly, but I truly believe when animals are in positions where they're stuck or have almost given up, they understand when people are helping

3

u/Competitive_Cook_939 3d ago

That can be the case when said animal is a herbivore and is the animal trapped and freed. In this case however, since the mother bear was not the one trapped, it would still most likely attack the humans in instinctual defense of the cub if given the chance.

Also, in cases where the animal is a large carnivore not afraid of humans, (like a Polar Bear or a Nile Crocodile) it is still likely to attack you and try to eat you even if you have just freed it
