In a heart-warming act of kindness, Indian soldiers rescued Bahadur, a Himalayan brown bear cub, after it got its head stuck in a tin can on a snowy mountain. The rescue – which happened in an unidentified, remote, high-altitude area – gained a lot of attention after a video capturing it went viral on social media.
The video shows the soldiers moving carefully through snow to reach the bear. Initially, they tried to remove the tin by hand, but realising the cub could get hurt, they used tools to cut it open. With patience and care, they freed Bahadur without causing any harm to the animal.
After the rescue, the soldiers gave the cub some food. Bahadur stayed close to the soldiers for several hours – calm and even friendly – showing trust in them.

Social media users hailed the soldiers for their empathy and swift actions as the video went viral. Many described it as a reflection of the Indian Army’s dedication to protecting the country and the wildlife in the area.
One user wrote, “Always the saviours.” Another user commented, “Love love love our army and of course this little Bahadur.”
A third individual wrote, “Thankfully the bear got saved safely.” A fourth user commented, “Curious about who left the tin box at such a high altitude.”
