Calming The Mighty Beast
Bringing one of the world’s most dangerous animals to a small fishing boat is not a safe activity. Even though he was exhausted, the first bear cub was quick to act once aboard the ship. If he saw the fishermen as a threat, there’s no doubt he’d find the energy to defend himself. To calm the bears, the fishermen used an age-old technique that you may recall from your childhood. They spoke to the animals in a soothing tone, assuring them that there was no danger on board, only a safe haven. The bear realized what was going on, but he gradually lost energy and grew heavier.
