OMG! BEAR SIMONE BROUGHT HER FIRST CUBS!

First visit this year by your favorite girl, Simone! AND YES, SHE BROUGHT HER FIRST EVER LITTER OF CUBS!!!!

The collar is gone - nice! - and she looks well-fed. The cubs are the cutest things to ever have walked these woods, but then I'm kind of biased.
Being that it's her first litter I tried my best not to spook her or the little ones. She seemed pretty comfortable with the proximity so I'm guessing we'll be seeing her again soon.

A mom bear with cubs, simultaneously one of the cutest and scariest things to see in real life

And a bird was like “Bear alert! Bear alert!” for 6 minutes straight

[Mugen]

it always amazes me that animals introduce their babies to a person that looks out for them. they are more conscious than they get credit for

[raerae]

That bird is chirping its lungs out warning everyone about the bear.

When he said "they're gorgeous, thank you" this man truly appreciates life

[justins]

This has “taking the kids to meet the grandparents” energy

Very very cute cubs. So small. I am glad that Momma bear felt loved there.

Momma bear: dears, today we’ll take a trip to the zoo to see the hooman beings...

Many bears are actually adorable, but never forget they ARE bears. These ones specially are really cute and lovely. A Mother bear bringing her children to humans is very huge trust. You are so lucky.

[Terryrouge]

She turned her back to you with her cubs between you and her. Now THAT is trust. What a moment. Thank you for sharing

[jamielacourse]

The fact that she feels safe enough to bring her cubs is a huge compliment.

[Rozom]

What an honor for her to trust you enough to bring them that close.

It’s still hard to believe that such a big bear started off as such tiny little fuzz ball.

The level of trust involved here is quite literally a once in a lifetime experience. I don’t think most people truly understand the level of pure aggression female bears are willing to exert on anyone and anything when their cubs are around. I almost can’t believe this happened that’s how crazy it is

[paulmccabe]

Love it...I just hope they didn't get too comfortable around other humans...we can be a bad lot...a beautiful moment in time Patrick...

"Sorry, I couldn't find a sitter today, so I had to bring the kids with me"

[Godzillakingofkaiju]

Considering how mother bears are the most overprotective parents in the animal kingdom, the fact that Simone trusts you enough with her babies speaks volumes.

[rashadd]

Cubs are like “Why are all the other animals so afraid of us mommy?”

[Viper]

That "thank you" you gave them ❤❤❤
You got a tear for me there, you sir must be an amazing human being!

[cheyennethedaeodon]

You know you’ve earned an animal’s trust when it comes to you with its cubs.
