We're all afraid of something

People are often afraid of bears, but what are bears afraid of?  As it turns out, tigers!

When a baby bear accidentally wandered into an animal sanctuary, life became quite scary.  This same bear was then discovered way up in a tree while big cats watched it from below.

Florida Fish and Wildlife officers were called in, but decided not to tranquilize the bear just yet.  They are hoping that hunger will eventually win out over fear, and that it will then come down on its own accord.  No one quite knows where Mama Bear is, but this little one seems old enough to survive in the wild.
