Woman Rescues Bear Cubs From Bin With Ladder (VIDEO)

WATCH: Bear Cubs Rescued From Bin With Ladder

Here's a question for you: what would you do if you spotted three bear cubs stuck in a huge rubbish bin?

Would you: a) run away; b) call emergency services; or c) fetch a ladder so they can could climb out to safety?

As you can see from this YouTube video, Shirley and Tom Schenk from New Mexico took option c) when they spotted three bears trapped in a skip - even though the cubs' none-too-happy mum was prowling around nearby. Nice work, Mr and Mrs S!

If you're impressed by that - and frankly, why wouldn't you be? - check out our slideshow of more amazing animal rescues...
