This polar bear cub appears to be enjoying himself as he holds a whale carcass to his ear and waves his arms as if he is listening to music.

He used the remains of the whale to wash his face and scrub himself clean before swinging it around.

Photographer Kyriakos Kaziras travelled to Alaska North Slope in America to photograph these magnificent mammals.

Meanwhile photographer David Swindler, 36, from Utah, USA, captured some stunning polar bear images on a tour of Kaktovik in Alaska.

He used a boat to get up close to a cub which was flailing around in the ice.

David took the photos while on a tour he operates for Action Photos.

He said: "It had recently snowed and he was having a great time sliding, rolling, and playing in the snow.

"The bear cubs are always great fun to photograph as they are so curious and like to have fun. Most of the time he was frolicking about in the snow making angels, but at one point he even rolled over and looked like he was waving to us.

"The cub was aware that we were taking photos of him and it felt as if he liked the attention of the cameras and was playing up to it.

"We had gone out on a boat to take photos of the bears but we were very lucky with the number that were in the area. There were bears everywhere on both sides of the boat."
