YOGA BEAR
A bear cub unwinds in a forest in eastern Finland by practicing yoga with a series of stretches. The young European brown bear performs the relaxing exercise routine after a busy afternoon spent play fighting with his sister and hunting for food. The adorable cub and his young sister were photographed in Pirttivaara, Finland by pilot Mario Nonaka. The 37-year-old, of Munich, Germany, says: “The little male sat down and started to scratch himself, eventually pulling some poses in very funny positions.
