re: Alaska Mama black bear helps cubs cross 4 lanes while vehicles wait patiently

Black bears and brown bears are not endangered in Alaska, but you don't see them in the cities all that often. The best place to find black bears there is feeding on clover along the rural highways. We saw quite a few doing that on the Alaska Highway.

This is a brown bear family we saw outside Haines 5 years ago. Much less crowded spot than Anchorage but still some traffic.
