A teacher in Finland, who is also an amateur photographer, captured amazing images of 3 bear cubs that appeared to have been dancing together.
In the images that Valterri Mulkahainen, a PE (Physical Education) teacher from Sotkamo, Finland, took, the 3 bear cubs can be seen standing on their hind legs in a ring.
Valtteri says he loves teaching, but he dedicates his free time to his passion for photography.
Over the years, Valtteri managed to capture amazing photographs of the wild, which you can check out on his official Facebook account.
But Valtteri says nothing beats the 3 bear cubs standing on their hind legs, appearing like their dancing images that he took a couple of years ago.
Valtteri says it was in June 2013 when he and his camera stumbled upon the adorable antics of 3 young bear cubs that were dancing in a circle.
Valtteri has been an amateur photographer for a couple of years, but he stumbled upon the bear cubs when he was exploring the Finnish taiga, a boreal forest, which is located around the town of Martinselkonen.
He said he came to a clearing and noticed a bear, who was joined by 2 more cubs.
Valtteri was in a shelter, which was located around 50 meters away from the bears, this gave him the perfect view and started to shoot the amazing images.
Talking about the pictures that he too, Valtteri said, “I photographed the cubs with the bear all evening and all night.”
He added, “The cubs behaved like little children. They were playing and even started a few friendly fights. I felt like I was on a playground in front of my house, where small children frolic around. That’s how much they reminded me of little children.”
He continued, “At one point, the three of them got up on their hind legs and started pushing each other. It was like they were dancing in a circle.”
Let’s agree to disagree, the images that Valtteri shared are one of a kind!
