As Jeremy neared the yard, he spotted the black animal, curled in a tight ball near the fence. Its fur was matted and dirty, half-covered in snow and barely distinguishable.. He moved closer, his heart quickening with a mix of concern and caution.
Jeremy kept his distance, eyes fixed on the creature as his pulse raced. As he slowly drew closer his breath hitched in his throat, recognising that it was a bear cub! The baby bear seemed vulnerable, but Jeremy knew better. Any move to help could trigger an attack from the mother, who might be lurking close by. The danger kept him firmly in place.
