Nervous Bear Cub Makes It Down Wall With a Little Encouragement From Mom

A black bear cub appeared nervous as it attempted to climb down a wall onto the patio of a home in Asheville, North Carolina, recently shared video shows. But the little one was eventually able to make the leap after some encouragement from its mom.

The CCTV video, from David Oppenheimer, shows the mother bear sauntering back towards the wall after she realizes one of her three cubs is lagging behind.

After some encouragement, however, the bear eventually plucks up the courage to dangle from the top of the wall, before jumping to land at its mother’s feet.

Speaking to Storyful, Oppenheimer said the bear family formed a “formidable team” and showed their “incredible problem-solving skills and unwavering love for family.” Credit: David Oppenheimer via Storyful
