A Bear’s First Photo Shoot: Adorable Cub Ayra Strikes Comical Poses As She Balances On Two Legs

Photo by Alex Cearns / Houndstooth Studios

With her mouth agape and bright, wondrous eyes, it’s impossible not to look at this baby bear and smile. The tiny female cub was photographed when she was just four months old, weighing little more than a newborn baby at 9.9lbs. Shots show her striking various comical poses, from confidently balancing on her back legs to seemingly smiling as she sits on a weighing scale. The striking images were captured by Australian wildlife photographer Alex Cearns during a visit to the Free The Bears rescue centre in Cambodia.
