EDITORS COMMENTS
Tree-mendous Back Scratcher: This Eurasian brown bear knows the secret to a good scratch! Pictured here in Suomussalmi, Finland, this furry forest dweller has found the perfect spot to relieve an itch. Standing tall and proud against a tree trunk, it seems like this bear has discovered nature's very own back-scratching station. With its massive paws firmly planted on the ground and its eyes closed in pure bliss, you can almost hear it saying 'Ahh, that hits the spot!' Bears are known for their playful behavior and resourcefulness when it comes to finding ways to satisfy their needs. And what better way than using one of Mother Nature's own creations? This clever carnivore shows us that even in the wilds of Scandinavia, bears have their own spa treatments! Captured by wildlife photographer Staffan Widstrand for Wild Wonders of Europe / Widstrand, this incredible shot showcases not only the beauty of these magnificent creatures but also highlights their unique behaviors. So next time you're out exploring forests or hiking through Europe's wilderness, keep an eye out for these amazing vertebrates who know how to make use of every opportunity - even if it means rubbing up against a tree!
