Bear cub being a 'twerp' in Northern Minnesota

The Voyageurs Wolf Project's trail camera captured video of a bear cub and its mom in Northern Minnesota, and the cub was acting like a "twerp," according to the researchers.

(FOX 9) - A bear cub in Northern Minnesota is getting called out by researchers for being a "twerp."

The Voyageurs Wolf Project on Friday shared video on social media from one of its trail cameras in the Voyageurs National Park area in Northern Minnesota, which featured a bear cub bugging its mom and then attacking the trail camera. 

"This bear cub was being a little twerp…he was even driving his mom nuts! Once she laid down the law, the little punk, who was clearly distraught from his mother’s reprimand, decided it was time to let out his pent-up frustration on our camera," the Voyageurs Wolf Project said on social media.
