BABY BEARS COPY FIGHTING ADULTS

SITTING quietly at the edge of the lake, these two baby bears watch and learn as the adults hunt for fish. Bored of watching, the one-year-old Kamchatka brown bears copy the adults and begin growling at each other and throwing punches. Luciano Leuzzi captured the images when he visited Kamchatka peninsula in far east Russia. The 53-year-old photographer, of Bernezzo, Italy, says: “Hungry bears gather in the lake and wait for the multitude of salmon that travel hundreds of kilometres down river and end up here.”
