Deep within the beautiful rolling hills and forests of the Ozarks, a mother bear creates a safe, cozy den in the rocky cavities and gives birth to three tiny cubs. As she protects them from danger, the mama bear begins teaching her cubs how to survive in the wilderness. When one of the cubs, whose fur is a light cinnamon color, ventures outside of his safe environment, he soon finds himself in a busy, rural town on the southern border of Missouri. After the yearling with a gentle soul wanders dangerously close to several homes atop a high, rocky bluff, he suddenly tumbles into a predicament with an unexpected outcome that inspires many in the town and around the world. The Town Bear shares the true story of a young bear who accidently wanders into a rural town and finds himself in an unusual predicament.
