It looks like this baby polar bear didn’t do what they were told, and now they’re being reprimanded by their mother. Although it might look harsh, trust us, it doesn’t hurt the baby at all, that’s just how they transport them around at a young age.
This is the polar bear equivalent of a parent picking up their child and leaving the store after they throw a temper tantrum in the middle of the aisle. Hopefully, this baby learned its lesson.
