Los Angeles - A bear has been captured waving goodbye to a photographer.
The beastly looking creature turned his charm on after happy snapper, 25-year-old Dylan, took a picture of him and waved goodbye only for the animal to return the kind gesture.
Dylan told The Daily Mirror newspaper: "I went to Olympic National Park to see the bears and to enjoy a weekend of camping.
"'When I was leaving I said 'goodbye bear!' and waved at it, then he waved back. I couldn't believe it. I was no more than 10 feet away from the bear, separated by a small wire fence.
"He didn't seem threatening at all, and it was almost tempting to go up and hug him."
