This is the moment a devoted mother bear rescues her drowning cub from a Canadian Lake.
Paul Csintalan was out fishing with friends when the mother black bear and her two cubs appeared and started to swim across Pitt Lake in British Columbia on June 26.
In the clip, one cub lags behind its mom and begins to croak and cry as she swims ahead with her other cub.
As she continues swimming her second cub suddenly disappears under the water for a few seconds.

The mother bear was swimming with two cubs when one got separated and began to thrash and cry in the water. The cub’s eerie and croaky screams were heard from across the water
As the mom swims with her second cub, it falls into the water and starts to drown. The mom circled her little one and found it and helped it climb on her back (baby pictured above on mom’s back)
With her cub secure on her back, the mom then swims to her other crying cub
Mama to the rescue! The mom swam several feet away to her crying cub to bring it to safety
She then circles the water searching for her little one and its head bops up.
She angles her body underwater so the cub can climb on top and ride on her back.
With that cub secure, the mama bear swims several feet to the other cub, who is thrashing and crying.
Finally, she reaches her baby and it stops crying as mom draws near.
Then the three swim towards shore and safely make it onto a beach.
