Polar bear spotted riding on its mother’s back

Polar bear cubs ride ‘piggy back’ on their mother’s back to avoid falling into the freezing waters of the Arctic, according to new scientific evidence.

A British holidaymaker visiting Duvefjorden, Nordaustlandet, spotted the mother bear with a seven-month-old cub hitching a ride.

The behaviour has been observed in the wild before by polar bears emerging from the den for the first time or crossing open water.
