Bubbles: Bear performs underwater

The photo was taken at a zoo in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, in a tunnel where people can watch polar bears and sea lions coming and going.

The photo of bear bubbling underwater was taken at a zoo in  Gelsenkirchen, Germany, in a tunnel where people can watch polar  bears and sea lions coming and going.

A TV crew had been waiting for hours to capture some action shots of the creature, but failed.

Minutes later, the crew left empty-handed. Peter Schmidt, a retired doctor, went to one of the windows and managed to snap a polar bear happily at play.
