…There’s A Baby
Judging by the bear’s frantic movements, Stacy understood that the bear was looking for her cub. This made her situation more dire because mother bears are notorious for how fiercely they protect their young. Stacy knew if she was going to get Timmy and herself out alive, she would have to be just as fierce.
Just like Stacy looking for her own child, this bear was looking for its cub as well. At this moment they had something in common and we think that they both sensed that. Animals can be very emotional and love their own offspring just as much as we humans do.
