Adorable snaps show bear cub pulling funny faces as he catches his dinner
A BEAR cub looks like he's bitten off more than he can chew as he tries to swallow an entire fish in one go.
The humorous photos show the tail sticking out of the young brown bear's mouth as he enjoys every last bit of a juicy salmon.
Amateur photographer Isabel Hernandez, 52, took the pictures at Lake Clark National Park, Alaska, where she spotted the 18 month old bear munching on the fishtail.
He had actually been given just the tail to chew after his mother had caught the fish and eaten the rest.
Isabel said: "The cub was lying on the beach while its mum was fishing. When the mum caught one she would return to the cub, but wouldn't give him any.
"He would watch her eating, whining and making grunting noises but mum wouldn’t give him anything.
"My pictures show the fishtail that was left after the mum had finished with the rest of the fish.
"The cub played with it for about an hour and it was very entertaining viewing.
"Cubs are like little kids, they are very curious and will play with anything and everything.

"I took these photos while lying flat on my stomach about 15 to 20 yards away."
Isabel, from Elkton in Maryland, USA, said she made a lengthy journey to Lake Clark in order to take photos of mother bears with cubs.
She said: "I flew 10 hours from Philadelphia to Anchorage and from there I jumped on a tiny, four-person plane to the remote location of Lake Clark.
"The flight was delayed for two days because of bad conditions, but we finally made it and stayed in a small lodge from where we could drive up and down the lake looking for the bears."
