BATHING BEAR CUB

A carefree bear cub reclines in the water with his feet raised in the air. After a hard day of fishing with his mum and siblings, this cub is ready for a rest as he takes a dip in the river. The chilled out grizzly bear cub was photographed by Canadian photographer Patrick Roque, 50, on a trip to British Columbia, Canada. ‘The photos depict a typical grizzly cub playing and exploring,’ says Patrick, of Alberta, Canada.
