I think the photos are interesting and I wonder how long it took the Bear to grab Darya Lefner (model's) bottom ?..

The bear is a domesticated animal called Stepan and is quite well known for his placid nature and acceptance of humans. As somebody once told me though a wild animal is never tamed, only trained. However, this beast has no track record, as far as I know, of being dangerous to humans.

Here's an article about the bear, his life and some of his exploits: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/9kvav8/the-bizarre-story-behind-these-sensual-photos-of-women-and-bears
