Watching a mama bear save her cub from a B.C. highway is one claws encounter Ricky Forbes won’t soon forget. 
 
 Forbes was driving through Kootenay National Park on Saturday afternoon when he saw a young black bear trapped on the road. 
 
 “We pulled over the car and we could see the cub on the side of the highway. It was screaming,” said Forbes, a driver for TornadoHunter.com. 
 
 Forbes started filming the cub, which was stuck behind an im-paws-ibly tall concerete barrier. 
 
 Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the mama bear to poke her head over and rescue her young – after taking the necessary precautions, of course. 
 
 “It looked like the bear looked both ways first,” said Forbes. 
 
 In the footage, the mama bear can be seen dipping down and grabbing the cub by its scruff then yanking it over the barrier as another cub pops its head up to peek at the action. 
 
 The incredible moment has already been picked up by media across North America and even in the U.K.
– A tornado hunter driving through British Columbia's Kootenay National Park stopped to film a bear cub by the side of a highway—and captured the moment its mother hauled it to safety. Ricky Forbes says the bear cub was trapped on the wrong side of a concrete barrier and was screaming as cars went by, CTV reports. The mother bear can be seen looking both ways before pulling the cub up by its neck as another curious cub looks on. "It was a very amazing sight to see," he tells the Telegraph. (In Alaska, another mother bear was apparently trying to protect her cubs when she mauled a jogger, who then walked two miles for help.)
