Mother bear was far from being amused when she saw her three cubs sliding down a waterfall in Alaska’s Katmai National Park.
The video begins with the anxious mother standing at the side of a low waterfall, watching one of her cubs going over the top.
When the second shares the same fate, she takes off after them, descending the falls, and charging through the water to retrieve them.
She then helps the three little hooligans out of the streaming water one by one, just before they could be pulled downstream.
“And the Mother of the Year award goes to… Grazer!!! All 3 of her cubs ended up going over the falls, thankfully they are all ok!” Explore.org captioned the Facebook video.
Thankfully mama bear was on the lookout and her three cubs all came out unscathed.
Katmai National Monument was established in 1918 to protect the volcanically devastated region surrounding Mount Katmai and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Today, Katmai National Park and Preserve remains an active volcanic landscape, but it also protects 9,000 years of human history as well as important habitat for salmon and thousands of brown bears.
