It was a beautiful day at the zoo today. Sun and lots of people.

The polar bear was very active today. It seemed that it got a taste for a certain photographer :lol: (not me ;-)a )

Here he is trying to get a good shot of the polar bear playing in the pool.

And the bear is trying very hard to get up and sink his teeth into a tasty photographer.

And finnally he got him

Wohoo Polar Bear 1 - Photographer 0 !


Obviously the bear can't read because the following sign says "Caution - do not climb up"

ps neither the photographer nor the bear was hurt during this playful time.

yeah yeah I know the photographer did not have the cap on in the first shot but someone told me that is was his cap.

That bear knows great equipment when he sees it. A very funny series.

Next time at Spitzbergen I know that it's enough to have a couple of tasty caps to invite polar bears. Like this action, Tommy!

Hahaha! That's funny!

I love it when the bears are active.


Thanks for looking!

It is a magnificent animal in its speed and strength.
What did it do with the cap finally?
