Brown bear relaxes under winter sun

Our Eurasian Brown Bear at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo relaxes under the warm winter sun!

oerg I think the bear is from a more warmer place like france or spain. Probably turkey or something. If it was in Russia it would be hibernating.

What a beautiful bear. Most don't think animals have feelings, but from this video and many others, they do.

Anyway, wonderful video, and a gorgeous bear.
