This video captures the rescue of two orphaned bear cubs who got stuck at the top of a huge spruce tree in British Columbia, Canada.

The cubs became spooked after their mother was killed by a vehicle and ran up the 70ft tree, where they remained stranded for three days.

Volunteers at the Northern Lights Wildlife Society came to the rescue, enlisting the help of local hobby climber Stephen Bot, who fearlessly traversed the branches to help out.

This rescue was filmed on May 15.
