Info from Licensor: "I drive for FedEx, and had made a wrong turn and ended up at the intersection of N 19 1/2 and W 18 Rd and slowed down to figure out which way I needed to go to get back on track. I looked up and saw mama bear sitting in the middle of the road, so I thought she might be hurt. I turned my truck around and parked far enough away that I could watch her, and call the DNR if she was in fact hurt. We watched each other for about 5 minutes and then suddenly her cubs started coming out 1 by 1 and before I knew it, there were FIVE! I call this divine intervention because even though I wasn’t technically supposed to be there at that moment, it ended up being the right place at the right time. Mother Nature is so cool!"
