Some unsuspecting fishermen in lake Vygozero in Russia caught sight of a cub in the water next to their boat.
The little cub seemed tired and crawled hard against the hull in a desperate attempt to get up on dry ground.
Somehow mom and cub had lost each other and the little one was obviously tired. There wasn’t much time left before it would drown – but luckily the fishermen’s boat showed up before it was too late.
