Curious Syrian brown bears show off for sanctuary visitors

OTISVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 3 (UPI) -- A visitor a New York wildlife rescue facility recorded a playful Syrian brown bear showing off for spectators by striking a series of poses.

The video, posted to Facebook by Kristy Connor, shows the female Syrian brown bear the Orphaned Wildlife Center in Otisville hanging out in a suspended loop of plastic pipe and striking a series of poses for onlookers.

A second bear soon arrives and makes its own play for audience attention by pushing around a plastic tube and balancing on top of it.

"This girl had us cracking up! She's quite the showoff," Connor wrote.
