Baby Bear Throws Incredibly Cute Tantrum When Mom Leaves Him in a Tree originally appeared on PetHelpful.

Make sure you have your sound turned up for this one, because you’ll definitely want to hear everything this baby bear has to say. He is throwing the tantrum to end all tantrums because his Mom stuck him safely up a tree for a few minutes, and that’s not what he wants!

Proving bears have more in common with toddlers than we ever thought possible, this baby bear yells, and complains, and stops just shy of stomping his feet. He reminds me of my once-upon-a-time 3-year-old, and the time I wouldn’t buy him that super expensive, age-inappropriate Transformer that he really wanted. Take a look!

Wow! Is he mad! Viewers absolutely recognize the toddler vibes he’s throwing off. Peaceblast3r said, ‘I think I saw that kid at McDonald’s earlier,’ while Tommie Lee pointed out, ‘Looks like timeout is tough for anyone.’ Jakeandrew points out that, ‘Somewhere close by, mama bear is rolling her eyes, and telling herself he just needs to cry it out.’

Genxfromtex notes that, ‘You know momma is just a few yards away gathering breakfast and muttering about her child embarrassing her in front of the world.’ LOL!

Bears make sounds to communicate, and, as you guessed, this little tyke is using the bawling, growling, and moaning to tell Mom that he’s distressed and nervous and wants out of the tree NOW.

The growls are also a warning to anyone in the woods that they are too close, and better back off. The National Parks Service warns that ‘If you hear them while you’re out in the park, back away calmly (never run), leave the immediate area, and give the bear more space.’ This site has bear vocalizations explained, and let me tell you, the adult bear’s growl is not as endearing as the baby bear, and not something I’d ever want to hear!

I’m sure the baby had forgotten all about his trauma exactly 36 seconds after Mom retrieved him from the tree, and all is well now. But Mom is probably *still* rolling her eyes.
