Mothers will do just about anything for their children, and it's no different when it comes to mother bears.

One feisty cub managed to get stuck inside a car garage near South Lake Tahoe in California, and resident Judy Coover was able to capture the entire thing on camera.

Coover found the cub dangling from the garage door tracks, and although she wanted to help, something told her to stay put.

“I was tempted to go and pick him up, but I thought, ‘No, where there’s a baby bear there’s a mama bear," Coover told CBS Sacramento.

Moments later, the sound of the garage door opening and closing revealed a concerned mother bear trying to get to its cub.

And all it took was a stern look and a growl from mom for the baby bear to get its act together.

"She looked at the cub and kind of growled at it. Kind of like she said, "C'mon, get out of here,'" Coover, who's also a nature photographer, told ABC 2 News.
