Bear cubs playing in tree

Riding Mountain National Park

Check out these adorable little bear cubs playing in a tree! Climbing up the branches (then tumbling down) looks like a lot of fun, doesn’t it? Baby bears, or cubs, are extremely good at climbing trees and will fearlessly venture out onto the smallest, most flexible branches. They can climb trees from a very young age, which is great because this skill allows them to escape danger at a moment’s notice.
