There's nothing a mother won't do for their children especially when that mother is a bear.

WMUR News 9 in Manchester, New Hampshire shared a video on Instagram of a mama bear and her three cubs wandering the streets of Bartlett, New Hampshire in search of food. We can assume this is not their typical foraging spot and were fanning out to find something to eat.

Mama bear has a nose that easily points her in the right direction and one of the cubs follows her to a nearby parked car. She got up on her hind legs and looked into what seemed to be a sheet of plastic, possibly covering a broken window. It's hard to tell for sure, but regardless, mama bear climbs right into the car to find the food she's looking for while the other cubs gather around and wait patiently.

In less than a minute she pops back out and lunch is served!

I'm sure that the driver of this car didn't expect a bear to hop in the back seat, but this is New England and bears are plentiful this time of year, especially as they prepare to store food for the winter.

It makes me wonder if the owner of this vehicle even knew a bear had been in their backseat. Can you imagine if the learned of the "bear break-in" by seeing it on the news? "Hey, that's my car!"
