Playful polar bear cubs grapple with one another as they wrestle on top of a snow-covered fallen tree trunk

  • The polar bears have been pictured wrestling in Alaska by nature photographer Christophe Vasselin
  • The cubs are seen tumbling around a tree trunk before one climbs on top of it and the two start wrestling 
  • After a few minutes, one cub wins the fight after pushing the second bear off the trunk and on to the ground 



  • A pair of polar bears have been photographed playfully boxing each other on a snow covered log in Alaska.
    Pictured on the snowy coast of Kaktovik on Barter Island, the cubs were caught scampering around and on top of a fallen tree trunk.
    In the stunning images, one of the bears is seen flopped over the trunk before the two begin play fighting.
    The two bears started their fight by shoving each other.
     One of the bears then climbed on to a tree trunk and the two tackled each other on the fallen tree.
    But, at one point, one pushed the other to the ground, claiming victory in the play fight. 
    The animated scene was captured by 42-year-old photographer and Luxembourger Christophe Vasselin. 
    Christophe, of Eischen, Luxembourg, said: 'I spotted the baby polar bears playing on a tree log that had washed onto the beach. '
