    Alaskan brown bears appear to be dancing while squaring up for a show of strength
    Alaskan brown bears, Mcneil River Game Sanctuary, Alaska Peninsula, America - Jul 2011

    Caught doing the bear-laro? These two grizzlies looked as if they were warming up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

    Photographer Rick Sheremeta caught the brown bears squaring up to each other at the Mcneil River Game Sanctuary on the Alaska Peninsula.

    But they weren't practicing the waltz, in fact the heavyweights were locked in a serious show of strength.

    Rick explains: "The McNeil River is home to the largest concentration of brown bears in the world thanks to the abundance of salmon at the waterfall. But with so many bears there it's inevitable that there will be battles for territory.

    "They will usually have a face-off until one backs off submissively. It is quite a sight to behold and could almost be viewed as a strange sort of dance.

    "These two youngsters reared up at each other but it didn't look as if it would end up with either getting hurt. It may have even been practice fighting as the tussle was soon over."

    Caught doing the bear-laro? These two grizzlies looked as if they were warming up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

    Photographer Rick Sheremeta caught the brown bears squaring up to each other at the Mcneil River Game Sanctuary on the Alaska Peninsula.

    But they weren't practicing the waltz, in fact the heavyweights were locked in a serious show of strength.

    Rick explains: "The McNeil River is home to the largest concentration of brown bears in the world thanks to the abundance of salmon at the waterfall. But with so many bears there it's inevitable that there will be battles for territory.

    "They will usually have a face-off until one backs off submissively. It is quite a sight to behold and could almost be viewed as a strange sort of dance.

    "These two youngsters reared up at each other but it didn't look as if it would end up with either getting hurt. It may have even been practice fighting as the tussle was soon over."

    Alaskan Brown Bear getting ready to take a nap in river with a fish it has caught
    Bear-ly Awake: Brown Bear Snoozes With Fishy Catch
    It's hard work catching fish - just ask this dozy bear who took a nap after landing a salmon.

    Wildlife photographer Rick Sheremeta snapped the brown bear nodding off in a river while still clutching it's tasty catch.

    He explains: "I spent four days observing brown coastal bears at McNeil River Falls on the Alaskan Peninsula some 290 miles southwest of Anchorage.

    "One adult female bear named Yolanda, by local guides, was particular interesting to watch - not only was she fairly high up in the bear pecking order thus allowing her unchallenged access to her favorite spot, but she was an excellent fisherwomen - snatching fish repeatedly time after time.

    "On my last day out at the Falls, she was particularly active. She would snare a large fish and walk it into the shallows where she would sit and consume it at her leisure. She did this time and time again but never did we see her leave the water to take a nap break like all the other bears routinely did.

    "Well, I guess all this frantic activity finally got the best of her - she finally wandered into the calm pool just as she had done numerous times before, sat down, cradled her catch under her arm and promptly nodded off.

    "Unfortunately, her nap was fairly short lived since her little slumber pad also happened to be an active byway for other bears traveling to and from the River - after a few moments of blissful slumber she was rudely awakened by other some other denizen splashing through the water.

    "Even though the scene was short-lived, it was a once in a million moment that I was lucky enough to document and capture with my camera."

    At least she has a delicious snack to wake up to.
