By Lauren Hill This is the UN-BEAR-LIVEABLE moment two waltzing polar bears were snapped as they took to the ice to show off their dance moves. Despite being one of the largest mammals on the planet, the two white giants couldn't BEAR the thought of being shown up on the ice by their fellow pals used the opportunity to practice their dancing when no one else was around. The stunning moment was snapped by Alexey Tishchenko, 42, in Manitoba, Canada, who came across the duo's performance whilst on a family holiday in the area well known for polar bear sightings. Against the snowy white backdrop, the dancing partners appear to draw each other close and clasped hands as they moved closely together in a tender moment. They later parted ways as they shimmied low whilst wiggling their hips and waving their arms. The Russian photographer was first only interested in landscape photography until he realised the wonders of capturing animals out in the wild. Alexey, 42, said: "I couldn't take my eyes off of the bears when I came across this. "It was such a pleasure to even get near to them and I couldn't believe how human- like they were behaving. "I love the white giants and especially seeing them out in the wild when they are free to behave exactly as they like. "What's surprising is that despite their size, they can still be such tender and graceful animals. "After such a successful trip to Canada this time, I'm already thinking about my next trip over there when I can hopefully get to photograph some more of these beautiful animals.
