The video, which can be seen on YouTube, ABC News and a variety of other media outlets, shows the ordeal that involves a group of fishermen getting stuck in the same whirlpool that almost claims the life of the crying baby bear.
Charlie Mettille of Scottsdale captured the rescue on his cell phone.
“I’m thinking, man, I will never see this again in my life,” Mettille told ABC15.
The fishermen are eventually pushed closer to the terrified baby bear, allowing them the chance to push him to slower waters to reunite with his family.
