This is too cute. It looks like a little kid in a bear cub outfit getting in the water.

86 years to the Kronotsky Nature reserve, home - among many other species - to Eurasia's largest protected brown bear population. Video filmed by inspector Liana Varavskaya shows this year’s cub ‘taking a deep breath’ before jumping into water to catch up with mum.

I would be a scared, the cub seems to swimming to the person that is holding the cam. Mom wouldn't put up with that.

Okay, I have zero motherly instincts, but when he finally got his feet down, I felt as proud as if he were my own cub. The swimming just made me extra proud.
