Indian Army Soldiers Help Stuck Brown Bear In Siachen, Forest Officer Shares Heartwarming Video

The Himalayan brown bear is an apex predator that resides in the high-altitude, rugged, cold regions of the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges. While they are known for their ferocity, a video is being widely circulated on social media showing how even animals at the top of the food chain may need little human intervention every once in a while.

The two-minute, 54-second video shared by Indian Forest Services (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan shows a struggling bear with its head stuck inside a metal canister in Siachen. As the bear is unable to free itself, the Indian Army soldiers come to its rescue and use tools to carefully cut through the metal, eventually freeing the animal from its misery.

"What a beautiful video. Indian Army soldiers saving life of a Himalayan Brown Bear in Siachin. Amazing work," said Kaswan in a post on X (Formerly Twitter).

After the rescue, the soldiers provided food to help the bear recover from its ordeal. Eventually, the cub wandered back into the wilderness.
