A fishing lover discovered a bear cub that had fallen into the river in the early summer morning of 1984.
The current carried him along. Without second thought, the man entered the center of the rapid and helped the bear cub to the shore.
The following day, a bear approached the fisherman after the fisherman thought the episode was over.
The fisherman remembered that day’s bite as being quite feeble. Unable to resist, the bear cub presumably slipped into the river while standing upstream and trying to fish.
The bear looked to be about a month old. The man moved into the rapids since it was much easier for an adult to stay in the river because it was obvious that he could not handle the current. The fisherman was perched on a hard bank when the bear cub bolted into the vegetation. He shrugged and gathered his tools. He went back to the same general area the following morning, but after a while he sensed someone watching him.
A large bear could be seen approaching him from behind when the man turned his head. When he suddenly noticed a huge mountain of fish at her paws, he was still unsure of how to react.
The bear stood for a time before shaking her head and walking away, leaving her catch as a token of appreciation for saving the youngster.
It seems that wild animals are far more intelligent than people believe. At least they are familiar with the emotion of thankfulness.
