PIC BY Gennady Yusin / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED the bear relaxes) -This bear looked like he was without a care in the world after he was caught soaking in a hot spa - before clambering onto the lush grass nearby to dry off in the sunshine. Photographer Gennady Yusin has spent six years photographing bears in Eastern Russia - but says this is the first time hes ever seen one taking a bath. The hot springs in the Walley of Gayzers in Kamchatka were only discovered by humans 60 years ago, but are an area of outsatnding natural beauty. But theyve long been a favourite place for the local bear population, who visit the area when there is still snow on the ground everywhere else, as the hot springs melt the snow and provide them with easy access to grass and berries when other prey is scarce in the winter. **NOT FOR SALE/USE IN RUSSIA / POLAND** *** Local Caption *** Gennady Yusin, caters, animal.press
