This mother bear had tried to hold on tightly to her cubs, but the lake’s current was very strong. So, once the current pull the cubs and mother apart, she made a split decision. However, that decision may or may not have been the best thing. The mother bear just moved on, hoping her cubs would somehow make it. She continued to swim and found land.
