A Sound beside the Trees

At Aspen Turn on a mountain trail, a camera records black bears. A class watches the videos indoors. A cub is a young bear. People do not go near the bears.

Clip A: A mother and two cubs walk near a tree. Another bear comes close. The mother makes a short, sharp sound. The cubs climb the tree. Their mother stays at the bottom. The other bear walks away.

Clip B: Later, another bear comes near the family by a different tree. The mother makes the same sound. The cubs climb. She stays below until the other bear leaves.

Which animal's young climb in both clips?
