Patrick is shocked by the adorable sight and shares his enthusiasm in the video description, noting that the cubs are the “cutest things ever to walk these woods.”

Simone confidently approaches Patrick’s porch with her cubs trailing behind her. Though the cubs are initially cautious, they eventually join their mother, demonstrating their trust in her. Patrick is amazed at the close interaction with these typically elusive animals.
After some time, the bear family departs Patrick’s porch and explores nearby. The cubs playfully climb a tree while their mother keeps a watchful eye. Eventually, Simone leads her young ones back into the forest, returning home.
