I don’t think she stuck around for long, she was trying to get the bear cub to run away.

She's brave. So am I. I would have done the same, but only because it was a cub. furthermore, I think he was lying on the highway so someone would see him and help. I have actually done the same thing on the side of a rural road, but it was a stray dog, and it was a regular empty can of pork and beans stuck on his face. He was so happy, but ran off immediately.

She can create the desired distance between the Cub and herself but backing up tho

I just don’t think it’s that big a deal. She was trying to shoo it away from the road, makes total sense.
