The video started with mama bear carrying one of the cubs in her mouth across the road, but she kept looking back to see if the others were following. They weren’t.

So, she turned back and tried to coax the cubs out of the brush.

Just as the cubs started to follow her, two decided to turn back.

Mama once again returned to the side of the road and tried to herd the cubs together. Two minutes into the video, she picked up one of the cubs and proceeded across the road.

This time one of the cubs followed, but the other two were distracted by a telephone pole, which they tried to climb.

Eventually, one of the cubs high stepped across the road and joined mama, leaving just one defiant cub.

Her patience was put to the test, but she prevailed.

Four minutes after the first attempt to cross the road, mama managed to get all the cubs safely across.
