Cub leans on mum for support as she takes him fishing for the first time – The Sun

A BEAR cub leans on his mum for support as she takes him fishing for the first time.

She showed him and his brother how to catch fish at a lake in Kamchatka, Russia.

Czech snapper Petr Simon said: “The family ran away together when a big male came.”

The unique images were taken at Kurile Lake, a volcanic crater lake.

The wildlife photographer said: “It is an amazing experience to observe bears in their natural habitat.

“I have spent a lot of time in the wild, but watching bears in close proximity is at the top of my experience so far.”

The 46-year-old added: “The cubs were learning from their mother and she must have caught about ten fish for them while I was watching.”
