The picture above was recently taken by photographer Sergei Gladyshev at the Moscow Zoo. By the looks of it, the polar bear cub featured in it is being tickled by his mom, and very much enjoys it.

Sources report that, in an attempt to get his mom to tickle him and give him some TLC, the bear cub went through the trouble of biting her tail.

As was to be expected, the polar bear did not get angry and was quick in making sure her cub got all the love and attention he was desperately begging for.

“Last winter the polar bear mum had three cubs. All three are different, one is always hungry, the second loves to chase crows and this one just likes to lie on the ground and get cuddles from mum,” Sergei Gladyshev told members of the press.
