Male bears will kill another bear's cubs on purpose, so the mom is ready to mate again in a few days instead of up to two and a half years.
Some mother bears figured out how to protect their cubs from it. They started living closer to people.
That cub with her paw up is learning to stand, which is how bears check for danger over tall grass. Brooke Bartleson, who filmed her, said cubs this age are so wobbly they flail their arms just to stay upright. That's the "wave." She tipped over a few seconds later.
She has good reason to learn fast. Park biologists at Katmai in Alaska figure only a third to half of brown bear cubs make it through their first year, and other bears are a big part of why. One study in Interior Alaska found 69% of cub deaths happened in a 17-day stretch in early June, right in the middle of mating season.
So researchers in Sweden set out to see what the successful moms were doing differently. They put GPS collars on 26 mother bears and tracked them from 2005 to 2012. Sixteen of them raised their cubs and ten lost them.
The moms who kept their cubs lived about 780 meters from the nearest people. The moms who lost theirs stayed around 1,210 meters away.
Male bears avoid humans, and the mothers seem to know it. The ones who made it moved toward villages full of bear hunters, because the woods full of male bears were worse.
Now go back and look at the mom in that first photo. She's got her head down eating grass while someone stands right there filming her kids. I can't tell you what was going through her head, but now you know who she was keeping an eye out for.
We all grew up being told to stay far away from a mama bear with cubs, and some of those mamas decided the best place to raise them was right next to us.
My biggest fear is that Lauretta will have to keep missing treatment because we can’t afford it.
We’re trying to get her to chemo this Friday. Please, guys, help us make it happen. We’ve come too far, and I just want my sister to get better. 🤲🏾
If the Toluwanisings' father doesn't want his son buried in a cemetery, then he should take his son's corpse to his own house, where he would have to see it every day.
We are often too quick to push an agenda without considering the adverse psychological effects it could have on the deceased's wife. Imagine her having to see her husband's burial ground every day. Imagine their children asking, "Where is Daddy?" and their mother pointing outside to where their father is buried. Such emotional trauma can take a devastating toll on a person's mental and physical health.
I lost my mother two years ago, and since the day she died, I haven't visited her shop. We have left it locked for two whole years while continuing to pay rent because I know I cannot bear the pain of seeing her belongings. I avoided going anywhere near my mother's street for two years even till now, because I couldn't cope with the memories.
Even though we buried her in my father's compound, I stopped going there for two years because I couldn't bear the thought of looking at my mother's grave and breaking down emotionally.
If I, as her child, could struggle this much with the pain of losing my mother, imagine what it would be like for a wife to wake up every day and be reminded of her husband's death, or for kids seeing their father's grave right outside their home, daily.
The father should know better.
No disrespect to the dead, but the living deserves peace, too. 🕊️

Fake products don't fly into Nigeria, they pass through Customs and enter markets under NAFDAC's watch.
If there's a rise in fake products in our country, blame:
CG Customs - Bashir Adewale Adeniyi
DG NAFDAC - Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye
Budget released to the ministry of health in 2026 -• N36million

Lmaoo! May the lives of everyone supporting this government become the way they are running this country. Amen🙏🏽
Good evening, please a mutual was brutally assaulted and is currently heaving bleeding from their ear.
I’ve asked them to go to a private healthcare facility, general said they’re closed.
Please consider supporting so we can offset the cost of their transportation
It's cute and fun until you get emotionally invested and find out that he's betrothed to a girl he has known since he was 15.
And then she sends her friends to harass you on snap and also texts you with his phone to leave her man alone,and calls you a slut.
But yeah hausa boys.
See how certain Muslim men are "speaking in hushed tones" over this issue. But let it be a muslim woman's wrongdoing or even a perceived wrongdoing, their voices would be the loudest, making multiple posts. Eyin keh. Ndi ewobi 😂
Agreeing to bring her daughter back to Nigeria to learn about Islam after experiencing life in the uk and seeing the opportunities first hand is stupid asf. I thought we are supposed to want the best for our children. Nothing has pissed me off more than this part of the story.
I have seen millionaires in dollars say something isn’t worth the price, only a Nigerian who is poor as shit will argue that it’s your lack of money that is making you complain about the price of an item.
Muslims, let's stop lying to ourselves.
Most Muslim countries are not tolerant of other religions.
In Saudi Arabia, a Christian can't build a single church.
In Pakistan, mobs burned more than 20 churches in one day in Jaranwala over a blasphemy rumour.
In Iran, Baha'is are barred from university just for what they believe.
Meanwhile the UK has nearly 2,000 mosques, and nobody is burning them down.
We demand tolerance everywhere we're the minority.
Then refuse to give it everywhere we're the majority.
That's not faith. That's hypocrisy.
When you makeup artiste start using high end products and start focusing on celebrities too, she will stop charging 30k/50k
Omoye is a celebrity makeup artiste and no be today she start the work and no be same product my dear
Someone using Nars foundation will never charge 30k for makeup…when no be say na meme.
The foundation money alone is worth more than 40k.
So... the couple executed in Saudi Arabia got caught because some pervert filmed them, tried to blackmail the women into sex with HIM, and released the footage leading to her and her lover's execution when she refused.
And I'm supposed to be LESS horrified after this revelation?
