Check out this adorable bear cub's dance moves

What music could he have been dancing to?

These stunning pictures were captured by High school teacher Valtteri Mulkahainen in the town of Martinselkonen, northern Finland. They show a bear cub going through his dance moves like a pro without a care in the world.

The 55-year-old, from Sotkamo, Finland, said:

“This dance was very rock n’ roll and also break-dance style. The interesting thing was the bear was sitting next to me and watching me.

“Then he stood up and began to dance. At first I couldn’t believe my eyes, he danced looking at me as if to say ‘look at what I can do, do you like it?’”

He added:

“When he finished the dance, he ran away with his friends and I sat there and still couldn’t believe it. Then I began to view the images I had captured and I couldn’t stop laughing, it looked very funny.”

Mr Mulkahainen said photographing the bears is his hobby and he does so every summer.
He said:

“This summer I have already visited the bears four times.I work as a teacher in a high school and am very fond of photographing bears on vacation, especially the little cubs - they are like very small children playing. I was in a hide to photograph the wild animals, the bears came about two metres away. But when we walked through the woods, the bears would come about five metres away - it was very interesting and exciting.”

He added:

“This dance reminded me of a mix between the bear cub playing rock n’ roll guitar and break-dancing. It seemed to me the bear wanted to show me how he can dance - and he really knows how to dance. At this age, the bears are very naughty, they play together like little kids.”
