Watch this mama bear save her cub from oncoming traffic

A baby bear on the road is scary, thankfully its mother was there for the save.

Everyone’s heard the addage about a mother tapping into some hidden reserve of strength to enable her to lift a car to save their child, but we’ve never seen a bear do anything like it -- until now.

This is one of those animal videos that really sets you on edge until everything is okay. Baby bears are amazing and the prospect of one sitting on the highway is terrifying. Thank goodness this mama bear came to the rescue and made sure everything was just right.

Sorry, that’s the one bad bear reference we’ll make.

The whole video is almost unbearable. Sorry again.
