Betty Matchizen was left counting black bears as she drove by her farm yard in Thalberg, Man. She said she pulled over on the side of the road on the weekend after seeing six black bear cubs and their mom hanging around an oak tree on the property.

“It’s quite amazing,” she said.

Seeing black bears is pretty common for Matchizen, but not this many at once, noting she sees around six to eight bears a year.
