A traffic jam turned into an unforgettable moment when a mother bear and her curious cub stopped cars on a rural US road. The cub, distracted by a mysterious red balloon tied to a drain, stood on its hind legs and played with it like a child, captivating everyone watching. As the balloon floated away, the cub’s reaction had drivers smiling and sharing the moment online. Some wondered if the balloon was a prank inspired by the horror movie 'It.' No matter how it got there, this little bear’s playful detour brought strangers together and reminded us of the magic in everyday surprises.
