A nine-year-old Himalayan bear – who is thought to have been the inspiration for the Yeti myth – has been filmed performing stunning spinning tricks with a log in a Siberian zoo.
Going by the name of Pamir, from the Asian mountain range his
ancestors inhabited, the bear is known for its distinctive white
claws.
“He’s been playful since he was just a little cub. He loves
to play with plastic canisters and basketballs, and in the
summer, with a hose,” said his keepers at Roev Ruchey zoo in
Krasnoyarsk.
