An orphaned bear cub is in recovery after being rescued from a cliff where it had sadly been trying to suckle and cuddle its dead mother for more than 48 hours.<br /><br />The black bear was first spotted by the operators of a local boat tour, who noticed that the cub was laying on top of its mom who appeared not to be moving.<br /><br />John Forde, 54, who runs Tofino Whale Rescue Center, was alerted to the tragic situation and immediately boarded a boat to Ross Pass, British Columbia, with his wife Jennifer Stevens to access the situation.
