Physical education teacher Valtteri Mulkahainen from Sotkamo, Finland is a true lover of nature photography. He has been spending the past 6 years shooting his country’s wildlife. And he has been able to successfully capture a lot of magical moments.
On the 3rd of June, 2013, Valtteri was planning to explore the Finnish taiga around the town of Martinselkonen. That is when he saw a bear coming to a clearing with a few cubs.
Bears are pretty common in Finland, except for Aland Islands. Most of them live in the eastern part of the country and Lapland, but you can spot a cute bear in the southern and western areas as well.
Valtteri share: 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. 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.
Valtteri was in a shelter 50 meters (164 feet) away from where the action was happening and that is how he got the perfect view.
Bears typically try to avoid human contact. Keen senses and the ability to move silently make them perfect at this game of hide and seek.
It is amazing that the photographer took such amazing shots.
This is where the teddy bears have they’re picnic.
This photo is everything and shows how precious the animal world is love it. They have more vibe going on then I do.
Why wouldn’t bears dance? When left alone to live their lives… Whatever they are doing, they obviously are having a good time and free!
Animals more compassionate, caring, responsible alot more then humans!
