Patrick
Conley who lives in Asheville, North Carolina often meets black bears around
his residence. They spend a completely comfortable and peaceful life although
they are surrounded by the wild bears.
The bear
that you see in this video is called Simone and she was a regular visitor of
the area. But, this time she comes with some new guests. Yes of course, her
babies too!!

You’d see
her looking back at the trees in the video. Soon after, a few cubs run to their
mother. Patrick who saw this started filming the scene. He was surprised about
the arrival of the little bears.
Mama bear
along with her cubs approaches the porch slowly. Sniffs to show that she is a
protective mama bear and signs her babies to climb in and then carefully
explores the new location.

What kind
of an image do you get in your mind when I say a bear? Most of you might get a
dangerous, aggressive and big animal in your mind. But, this incident shows
that they can be gentle too. Why did this mother bear get her cubs to
Patrick's? It's definitely because she trusts Patrick. This is an action to
prove the unspoken friendship between the bear and this human.

After
leaving the porch, the family of bears played around while mama bear kept an
eye on them. Then, she signaled her cubs to get back into the woods.

“The cubs
are the cutest things to ever have walked these woods, but then I’m kind of
biased.”
Maybe
Simone wants to officially introduce her new family members to Patrick's
family.
This video
grabbed the attention of a lot of YouTube users and a number of favorable
comments were seen, “This is what it means to co-exist and interact
respectfully. She is being respectful by keeping her distance and being
curious, but at the same time cautious and not showing any signs of aggression,
and you are being respectful by keeping a respectful distance and acting calm,
understanding she is a wild animal with offspring.”
Asheville
is a place where you can see a good growth rate of black bear population who
can co-exist with the human population.
Here's
