Dave Walz, a warden supervisor with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, captured this unbearably cute video of a tiny cub climbing out of a newly constructed open basement in Vilas County. The video was released on June 20.
“Walz had just finished his shift when he received a call from the Vilas County Sheriff’s Office – a curious bear cub had found itself in a newly constructed open basement,” said the department. “While the cub’s mother watched from afar, Walz, with help from the homeowner, used a ladder to help the cub escape from the basement and reunite with its mother.” Credit: Dave Walz/Wisconsin DNR via Storyful
