The family bonding time was captured by Lithuanian photographers Dalia Kvedaraite, 35, and Giedrius Stakauskas, 38, on a visit to the Martinselkonen Nature Reserve, located close to the Russian border.
‘A female bear arrived at this spot with her cubs when several powerful male bears had moved away from the area,’ explains Ms Kvedaraite.
‘There was plenty of action from the fluffy bear cubs as they were playing and digging up vegetation all evening.
‘Their mum was teaching them how to climb and they all followed her lead as they scurried up the tree one by one.

Easy as one, two, three: One by one the young brown bear cubs climb up the pine tree trunk as they practice what they mother preached
‘All the cubs were so cute and funny, but the smallest one was particularly playful and so adorable.’ Only a few feet away from the bears, the photographers were able to watch them play together for hours.
Dalia says: ‘Unfortunately, later that evening, this little family of bears was frightened by a huge and very aggressive male bear. ‘This forced not only the cubs but even the female to climb up to the top of the 33ft tree.
‘They certainly put their climbing skills to good use, and they reached the top in a mere five to ten seconds.’
