An Alaskan brown bear does a Jungle Book impression with a Baloo-like bear bath. Photographer Rick Sheremeta captured the scene at the McNeil River Game Sanctuary on the Alaska Peninsula. He says: “It put a paw behind its head in a relaxed pose and at one point threw its head back in bliss. I’m pretty sure it didn’t know I was there but at the end the bear turned and seemed to stare at me as if saying ‘How dare you interrupt my bath?’.” Picture: Rick Sheremeta/Rex Features (via Pictures of the day: 17 August 2011 - Telegraph)
