The orphaned cub was so desperate she literally climbed into the raft for safety.
"We had seen this bear over the last four days, and there was no sight of a mama bear," company owner Matt Moses told the Knoxville News Sentinel.
"She was obviously malnourished and appeared to be in distress. My guides kept coming back to me and saying they had no idea what to do. We didn't want to see this bear die on the side of the river."
So on Thursday guide Danny Allen rafted over towards the bear, which then desperately struggled into the raft
“We see bear fairly often, but we’ve never seen anything like this,” Moses told the News Sentinel. “This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a bear getting in a raft.”
The 14.5-pound animal was taken to the Appalachian Bear Rescue group, which looks after a lot of orphaned cubs.
