A tour guide at Yellowstone National Park managed to capture the very special moment a black bear cub emerged from its den for the first time this week. Andrea Baratte, who works for Yellowstone Adventure Tours, watched as the mother bear left the den for about 10 minutes, with the youngster following close behind.
Baratte is a qualified wildlife biologist, and worked as a mountain lion tracker in western Montana before becoming a guide at Yellowstone. Sharing the video on Instagram, he explained that the bears' den was close to the road, and the animals weren't disturbed by his presence.
