RESTLESS BEAR CUB

An adorable black bear cub struggles to find the perfect spot for an afternoon nap as he wriggles around on the branch of a maple tree. The five month old scamp refused to sit still, having climbed the tree trunk with his mum and sibling. The restless cub was photographed by Canadian wildlife photographer Megan Lorenz, 38, whilst she was watching these beautiful animals relax at Georgian Bay, Ontario. 'I came across a female bear and her two cubs resting in a tree,' says Megan, of Etobicoke, Ontario.
