However, two stubborn cubs stayed behind with one noticing a short time later that its mother had left. 

That cub is then seen making its way across the road as its sibling decided to climb a pole. 

The mama bear was forced to cross the road once again to get her fourth hard-headed cub. 

That prompted one of her cubs to follow her into the road again.

She first grabs the stubborn cub and starts crossing the road before putting the baby in the middle of the street as she attempts to grab the other. 

At one point, the mama bear appears to try and pick them both up at the same time before growing frustrated and running off with just one as the other followed her.

Appearing to have them all to safety, one of the cubs then runs back into the middle of the road, prompting the mother to run after it. 

‘Aw she got them all across finally,’ a woman who recorded the moment is heard saying in the background.
