ROHINI RAMAKRISHNAN

Three little bears: Off on an adventure.

Three bear cubs have been hopping aboard freight trains travelling through the Canadian Rockies, and gorging themselves on the grain cargo. The young black bears have been discovered and ejected twice from grain-laden trains travelling through the Yoho National Park in the Canadian west, according to a CBC report. Park officials believe the bears, hungry after a long hibernation, got aboard with their mother when the train stopped, but that the mother leaped back to the gr ound when the train started up again, leaving the cubs to ride along and munch away until they were discovered. The first time they were returned to their mother, but two days later they were back aboard again.
