A spokesperson for the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Mark Hart, told the Arizona Star that two of the cubs were captured after authorities arrived, with the third was caught later on, after it wandered off the road.
One of the first responders was scratched by one of the bear cubs, but their injuries were treated, the Arizona Game and Fish Department tweeted on Monday.
Along with their tweet, the Game and Fish Department shared a video of the bears sitting together in their carrier, appearing somewhat nervous and unsure.
One of the more curious siblings even stood up on its legs in the clip and looked out of the carrier’s window to adorably check out his surroundings.

The cubs were eventually brought by Game and Fish Department officials to the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center, where they are in good health and have been receiving proper care, according to Hart.
Because of their young age, James O’Brien of the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center said the cubs need all the help they can get, especially now that they’re living without their mother.
