Man and Bear
Tajikistan picture - This gentleman and his bear are often seen performing in the parks of Dushanbe. The bear, 11 years old and with his master since being a tiny cub, is led through his repertoire of tricks, rolling through summersaults, standing on two legs, dancing... Their act is certainly one of the most popular with the kids. Unfortunately we weren't able to ask the bear on his opinion on the matter.
