this mother bear and her two Cubs are
0:02
exposed to the ice cold Russian winter
0:04
the bear planned across a big lake but
0:07
made a bit of a miscalculation
0:09
the swim was a bit further than she
0:11
thought and the mother was of course
0:12
much better at swimming than her two
0:14
young were she realized she wasn't going
0:17
to make it with her two Cubs so then she
0:19
had to make a choice and her Primal
0:21
Instinct kicked in before we start can

channel before we tell this story we
0:32
need to provide some information on the
0:33
location of the incident
0:35
the lake the mother bear and her two
0:37
Cubs tried to cross is Lake vigozero
0:40
this is an enormous freshwater lake in
0:42
the north of Russia where it gets really
0:44
really cold during winter
0:46
it would be impossible for human beings
0:48
to survive being in this ice cold water
0:50
even if it was just for a few moments in
0:54
the wild it's all about surviving for
0:57
these pair Cubs this was made clear at a
0:59
very young age because they trusted
1:01
their mother blindly and followed her
1:03
into the Ice Cold Lake they didn't have
1:05
a choice because without a mother they
1:07
would be helpless and vulnerable
1:09
unfortunately the mother bear was a
1:12
little too optimistic and brought her
1:13
Cubs into mortal danger the lake she
1:16
wanted to cross was too big this led to
1:18
a heart-wrenching decision at first
1:21
there doesn't seem to be a problem
1:23
mother bear and her Cubs jump into the
1:25
water and swim a good long way towards
1:27
the other side of the lake
1:28
Dune though it becomes clear that the
1:31
two Cubs can't keep up with their mother
1:32
they try their best and use all of their
1:35
strength but the distance between the
1:37
mother and the Cubs Rose bigger and
1:39
bigger
1:40
when the mother notices she has lost her
1:42
Cubs she turns back so the Cubs can
1:45
cling to her to not drown in the lake
1:47
the cops aren't strong enough yet and
1:49
they can't finish the journey The
1:51
Crossing is going to end very sadly it
1:54
should really be the other way around
1:55
and usually that is the case in nature a
1:59
mother should sacrifice herself for her
2:01
Cubs but this mother doesn't have a
2:04
choice unfortunately she can't keep the
2:06
Cubs on her back and they can't finish
2:08
the journey on their own either
2:10
the mother bear only has one option keep
2:13
swimming and leaving her Cubs behind
2:15
it's shocking and unimaginable but
2:18
sometimes there's no other choice in
2:20
nature everything is about surviving
2:22
after all of course the bear first tried
2:25
to save her young but it was no use
2:27
the current in the lake was too strong
2:29
for her to stay afloat with the extra
2:31
weight of her Cubs the current pulled
2:34
her away from her young so she had no
2:36
choice to keep swimming and bring
2:38
herself to safety
2:39
whether the young would make it she
2:41
didn't know after a lot of exertion
2:44
the bear reached the other side of the
2:46
lake and managed to get on land so what
2:49
happened to the Cubs in the meantime
2:50
when they were separated from their
2:52
mother they screamed and screamed and
2:55
used the last of their strength to keep
2:56
up with her however the distance kept
2:59
growing bigger
3:00
the Cubs were unable to make it in the
3:02
ice cold water with a strong current
3:04
they barely had the energy to keep their
3:06
heads above water they clung together to
3:09
stay afloat together
3:10
there would have to be a miracle for
3:12
them to survive this ordeal it's hard to
3:15
imagine what the Cubs must have felt at
3:17
that moment they must have been
3:18
incredibly frightened since they were
3:20
hardly able to keep their heads above
3:22
water
3:23
they might not think in the same way as
3:25
us humans do but Bears definitely have
3:27
feelings too the Cubs had to fight for
3:30
their lives and their movements became
3:32
more uncoordinated by the minute all
3:34
hope for survival started to disappear
3:37
by chance a fishing came discovered the
3:40
Cubs in the water of course the Bears
3:42
couldn't call for help like we would be
3:44
able to do nevertheless one of the
3:46
fishermen discovered the two Cubs and
3:48
tried to get to them with the boat the
3:50
coats reacted immediately and started to
3:53
swim towards the boat knowing they'd be
3:55
able to cling to it they knew this was
3:57
their only chance for survival because
3:59
they couldn't hold on a moment longer in
4:01
the ice cold water the fishermen
4:03
immediately noticed the bear cubs
4:05
weren't doing well and that they needed
4:07
help although they weren't sure how
4:09
they'd be able to help the Cubs they did
4:11
know they couldn't just leave them
4:13
the smaller the distance between the
4:15
Bears and the boat became the clearer it
4:18
became the Bear's situation was very
4:19
dire
4:20
the fishermen tried to handle as quickly
4:22
as possible there was one issue though
4:24
one of the bear cubs would become
4:26
aggressive once they were on board
4:29
after all bears are powerful animals and
4:32
they are known to get very aggressive at
4:34
times the boat wasn't very big so there
4:37
wasn't a lot of room and this might lead
4:39
to the Bears feeling cornered
4:41
that thought was shoved aside though
4:43
because something needed to happen if
4:45
they didn't want the bear cubs to die
4:47
one of the Cubs came to the edge of the
4:49
boat and started to climb up on its own
4:52
but it was in vain it didn't have enough
4:55
strength left to climb into the boat on
4:57
its own since the edge of the boat was
4:59
too high exhausted he let himself slide
5:02
back into the water the fisherman came
5:04
up with an idea they grab a net and
5:07
tried to push up the Cub but the animal
5:09
was simply too heavy not only did the
5:11
fishermen try everything they could
5:13
think of to help the Bears the Bears
5:15
themselves also used their last strength
5:17
to get into the boat
5:19
they use the razor-sharp teeth to bite
5:22
into the ropes around the boat to pull
5:23
themselves out
5:25
it was no use though what was left to do
5:28
the Cubs seem to have a little
5:31
temp didn't seem to be enough
5:33
no matter what the fisherman tried
5:34
nothing seemed to be enough to save the
5:36
animals the cuts still hadn't gotten
5:39
onto the boat and had to desperately try
5:41
to stay afloat in the water
5:43
luckily being able to hold on to the
5:45
edge of the boat helped a lot already
5:48
the two fishermen didn't want to give up
5:49
though because they had already taken
5:52
the Bears into their hearts and couldn't
5:54
bear leaving them behind however the
5:56
situation was still very dire one of the
5:59
fishermen came up with the idea to use a
6:01
landing net the Bears were forced to
6:03
trust the humans the fishermen and the
6:06
Cub looked each other in the eyes it was
6:08
as if their souls were connected for
6:10
just a little bit and the small Bears
6:12
seemed to say please help us we just
6:15
want to live it was clear human and
6:17
animal had to trust each other
6:20
the fishermen wanted to save the Cubs no
6:22
matter what but try making that clear to
6:24
two young Bears who are completely
6:26
panicked both parties needed to trust
6:29
one another but this wasn't very easy
6:31
yet the fishermen persisted and with the
6:34
use of their landing net they'd managed
6:36
to get the first pair safely on board
6:38
the second Cub tried to cling to the
6:40
boat with all that it had but it didn't
6:42
have enough strength left it wasn't able
6:45
to climb into the boat like its brother
6:47
The Joy the fishermen felt about saving
6:49
the first Cub didn't last very long
6:52
would they be able to save the second
6:54
comp while the first Cub was lying in a
6:57
corner of the boat completely exhausted
6:59
the fisherman pulled all the stops to
7:01
try and get the second Cub out of the
7:02
water
7:04
this turned out to be more difficult
7:05
than they thought and time was running
7:07
out the second Cub was stuck in the net
7:10
for a long time and didn't have enough
7:12
strength to get out plus the Nets were
7:14
meant for fish and not for the weight of
7:16
an entire bear nevertheless the
7:18
fisherman did try after a short time it
7:21
became clear that the second Cub really
7:23
was too weak to get into the boat by
7:25
itself it had exerted itself too much
7:28
and wasn't able to move a muscle anymore
7:30
not even when it was almost over the
7:33
edge of the boat the fisherman didn't
7:35
want to touch the bear either because
7:37
Bears even when they're small have big
7:40
claws in teeth and can react
7:42
unpredictably especially when they're
7:44
stressed that's why the fishermen
7:46
started to encourage the cub and tug on
7:48
the net but it was no use the Cub was
7:51
too heavy the idea came at the very last
7:54
minute a net was thrown around the bear
7:57
to attach it to the boat that way
7:59
then they supported the Cub underneath
8:01
his bum with a landing net so if his
8:03
weight was somewhat divided
8:05
with this construction the fishermen
8:07
managed to guide the cup along and move
8:09
the boat with the Cub attached to it to
8:11
the back of the lake
8:12
both brothers were now safe
8:15
the Cubs both fell asleep very quickly
8:17
unaware of what was happening around
8:19
them
8:20
they would be seeing their mother again
8:21
very soon
8:23
when the fishermen saw how much the bear
8:24
cubs were shivering they decided to not
8:27
just leave them on land but to search
8:28
for the mother bear as well she couldn't
8:30
be far after all it was clear to the
8:33
fishermen that they couldn't simply
8:35
abandon the Cubs there were foxes and
8:38
other wild predators in the area as well
8:40
and those might see the Cubs as prey
8:43
first they had to find a suitable spot
8:45
to take the Cubs off the boat
8:47
they didn't know how the mother bear
8:49
would react when they saw her
8:51
a grown-up bear is very big and
8:53
dangerous nevertheless the fishermen
8:55
carefully steered towards the spot where
8:57
the mother bear was
8:59
Luckily everything went off without a
9:01
hitch the mother bear somehow felt the
9:04
fisherman didn't mean any harm and had
9:06
saved her Cubs she hid in the background
9:09
and waited until the boat moored
9:10
meanwhile both Cubs were wide awake
9:13
because although they were still tired
9:15
they knew very well that their mother
9:17
was close by the two bears climbed off
9:20
the boat themselves and got onto land
9:22
the two fishermen understood they needed
9:25
to get out of the way and they slowly
9:27
steered the boat away
9:29
as soon as a fisherman steered away the
9:31
mother bear ran towards her young it was
9:34
clear how much joy she felt at the side
9:36
of them the Bears weren't the only ones
9:39
who were happy the fishermen were also
9:41
relieved the Bears were reunited again
9:43
they had saved the lives of the small
9:45
Bears they would be able to gain back
9:47
their strength now
9:49
of course it's not always clear whether
9:51
humans should interfere in nature or if
9:54
they should just let nature be nature
9:56
but should the fishermen have just let
9:58
the Bears drown them what do you think
