Залезать или нет?

In a serene meadow blanketed with delicate white flowers, a bear cub reaches for the sky, its paws clutching a thin birch trunk. The golden light of early morning bathes the scene, highlighting the cub’s soft brown fur and wide, inquisitive eyes. This is not just a moment of play—it’s a rite of passage, a test of balance, strength, and instinct. The cub hesitates, then pulls itself higher, driven by an innate urge to climb, to explore, to grow. Photographer Valtteri Mulkahainen captures this fleeting, tender moment of wild childhood, where every scratch on bark is a step toward survival.
