The beauty of nature has the ability to humble and amaze. Even when everything is calm, it seems that the wilderness has plenty of drama to offer those people who are willing to go out of their way to find it. This is because the wilderness is home to breathtaking views and towering cliffs, as well as winding rivers and majestic wildlife.

However, what happens when two different natural forces come into contact with one another? When a mother bear in Russia attempted to cross a river with her cubs, but the current was too strong for her, she was forced to give up her cubs and swim away from them. Local fishermen in Russia were there to witness this event. However, that was only the beginning of the dramatic events that were to follow.
