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.

'I came across a female bear and her two cubs resting in a tree,' says Megan, of Etobicoke, Ontario.
