A Brave Man Hugs Young Bear Like His Son in the River...

There's a fine line between being brave and being stupid.. In this instance we call him brave. Had the mother bear been in sight, we'd all be calling him stupid.

Most of little young animals (humans included) are cute. Hardly anyone can still retain their cuteness after being more mature.

We'd all be standing around saying "Don't he look natural".
