Mama Bear Pulls Cub To Safety Off B.C. Highway

WATCH: Mama Bear Is FIERCE

A mama bear astonished a professional storm hunter who happened to spot the animal and her cub on a busy highway in British Columbia's Kootenay National Park this weekend.

Ricky Forbes, who lives in Alberta and chases tornadoes for a living, stopped to get a shot of the baby bear but captured much more.

"While watching the cub we saw the mama bear stick [its] head over the barrier to save [its] young from its dangerous predicament. A very amazing sight to see," he wrote on Newsflare, where his video was posted.

We can't even think of a pun here because this mama bear was being MAMA BEAR.
