A wild bear has been caught kissing his cub in the wild.

Valtteri Mulkahainen, 59, from Finland, was stunned when he witnessed the humanistic moment between a mother and child in the town of Matrinselkonen..

Valtteri – who is interested in capturing nature and animal images – was able to snap a cute shot of the bear, which appeared to be kissing her kid as she leaned on a tree.

“This was a wonderful experience for me,” he said. “The bear acted like a human. She carefully watched her cub bear as it wandered around the tree.

“The bear was seen playing with other cubs around the trees in the photographs. They climbed trees and went down for kisses.
