Talk about fast food! Grumpy bear hilariously fails to catch its lunch
WHAT'S worse than a bear with a sore head? A bear with an empty stomach.
This glum animal was left looking grumpy after hilariously failing to catch its lunch.
After spotting a fish from its look-out point, the sharp-eyed bear is seen dashing through the water, ready to ambush the unsuspecting salmon.
But, instead of keeping its eyes on the prize, the hungry hunter managed to lose sight of its dinner in the fast-flowing waters of Katmai National Park, Russia.
The tricky fish is seen soaring through the water, straight past the jaws of the bewildered brown bear.
Determined not to go away empty-handed, the miffed mammal then leaps head first into the foam but the slippy salmon still manages to evade being caught.
I couldn't help but laugh when the bear missed the fish
Luckily, it wasn't long before the bear did find some dinner, as noted by youngster Elisveta Tishchenko.
The 15-year-old photographer snapped the animal whilst on a photography trip with her father.
Elisveta said: "I couldn't help but laugh when the bear missed the fish, it saw it from quite a distance away and looked sure to catch it.
"But it lost sight of it, I could see it searching the water to see where it had gone.
"All of a sudden it just sprang out of the water, they are so fast and are very good at avoiding being caught.
"It was determined to catch it and jumped into the water after the fish but the water runs quickly it would be impossible to see it through the foam.
"Me and my father were laughing to ourselves when we saw it looking grumpy as it rested on its rock.
"We knew it wouldn't be long before it did catch a fish and I'd say it was only another ten minutes or so before the bear managed to eat, we were very glad it didn't go hungry."
