Animals, Russia, Show

We’ve seen Kung Fu Panda – now, a real Russian bear has become an internet hit, amazing visitors to a Siberian zoo with his perfect mastery of the martial art.

­An amateur video shot by Andrey Kutzenko shows the animal throwing a wooden club around his neck, passing it from paw to paw and twisting it in front of him.

The Royev Ruchey Zoo in Russia’s Krasnoyarsk says Pamir the bear has played with the club since he was a cub. The seven-year-old also likes to play with cans, boards, baseball bats and cold water from a hose.

Nicknamed Pamir after the mountains in Central Asia, the bear is a rare white-claw featured in the Red List of Threatened Species.

Unlike their Russian relatives, these sporty bears from the Central Asian Himalayan forests do not hibernate.

He should be running free in the forest eating berries, rubbing his rear end on a tree and increasing his population. Instead he is trapped in a concrete cell as camera fodder for the masses of humanity who would not even spare a seconds thought into how the bear would like to spend his life.

Dit to... something turns upside-down in my stomach seeing them in concrete/metal cages... That bear seems to have skills. Not as the "human" observers - "Ni figa sebe!" That's all they can say, do...

Come on guys, can we all stop with this nonsense comments? We should all take a moment and look at something adorable and have a laugh together for once. Why is everyone so serious all the time?  I agree, lets take a moment to enjoy something together. It won't hurt anything, I promise.
