An image showing brown bears positioned like Christmas decorations in a towering pine was shared last week by a wildlife-viewing facility in Transylvania.
“Pine ornaments for sale,” the company, Bear Watching in Transylvania, joked on Facebook.
The image reveals that bears in the region are prolific climbers. In this instance, their faces peering toward the camera from different spots in the branches make them appear as adorable decorations.
The Facebook post inspired dozens of comments in Hungarian language, such as, “How cute they are! Such a rare moment!”
The image was subsequently uploaded to a Facebook page that features the brown bears of Alaska’s Katmai National Park, and inspired more silly and amusing comments, such as “Don’t forget the tinsel” and “Best decorations ever.”
Bear Watching in Transylvania boasts guaranteed sightings from designated sites during “wildlife-watching” programs that last 1-2 hours.
