NOSEY POLAR BEAR INSPECTS TOURIST'S TRUCK

STANDING on its hind legs, a nosey polar bear presses its paws against the window of a truck and takes a peek at the tourist inside. The curious 6ft tall bear appears to be deep in thought as it drops down to inspect the tyres of the vehicle, which was parked on a snowy road in the town of Churchill in northern Manitoba, Canada. Raymond Yue photographed the encounter during a trip to the Canadian town where polar bears are prevalent, especially around the coastline.
