THE HILARIOUS moment a bear cub took some time out from its usual family antics to perform what appears to be TAI-CHI has been captured by a shocked fitness instructor. While momma bear and its cub siblings sniff around like normal creatures of the forest, pictures show how one of the youngsters stood up on its hind legs and began posing like a Shaolin monk.

Sixty-two year old Harry Eggens from the Netherlands was on holiday in Finland’s Kainuu wilderness when he snapped the surprising scene.
