'Psst! I can BEARly hear you!' Photographer snaps picture of bears WHISPERING
A LUCKY photographer snapped this heart-warming photo of two bears WHISPERING to one another.
In the hilarious snap, a grinning bear appears to shield his mouth from the prying ears of other woodland creatures, while another brown bear smiles deliriously.
The Disney-like behaviour of the two secretive bears was caught on camera by 45-year-old photographer, Goran Anastasovski while visiting the Bitola Zoo Garden, in Macedonia.
Mr Anastasovski said: "Wildlife photography has been my passion for 12 years and I love taking pictures of animals in nature.
It was a sweet moment
"These two bears were playing and I managed to capture the moment one of the bears leaned towards the other, as if whispering in the ear of the other bear.
"It was a sweet moment".
The professional photographer said that despite visiting the animals at their enclosure on a regular basis – he had never seen them behave like this before.
He added: "It was a great moment, and it was really hard to capture because the bears are always moving around and playing.
"I feel very lucky to have captured such a tender moment."
But tender moments between these bears are far from rare, unlike in America – where on average two people are killed by bears every year – European brown bears, like the whispering pair in the snap, Scandinavia only has three fatal bear attacks recorded in the last century.
