Mother and son foster 14 bears at home

A daring mother and son have hand-raised 14 bears in their back garden.

Monica Welde and her son, Johnny IV, spend their days rolling around with bears that weigh up to 454 kilograms, in Bearadise Ranch, Florida.

The Welde family have looked after grizzly bears, black bears and polar bears in need in the last 91 years with their license.
