Reclining in the water with his feet raised in the air this grizzly bear cub bears an uncanny resemblance to one of the Jungle Book's best-loved characters.

The cub, who took a dip in the river after fishing with his mother and siblings, looked a lot like Baloo the bear as he floated in the water.

The chilled out grizzly was captured on camera by Canadian photographer Patrick Roque, while he was on a trip to British Columbia in Canada.

Mr Roque of Alberta said: 'This particular cub had just finished wrestling with one of his siblings and suddenly decided to sit and rest.


'As the cub was sitting he leaned back a bit too far and rolled onto his back.

'Then, he began playing with its paws, as if he was trying to pretend that it was all part of the plan!'
