JUST LIKE BALOO THE BEAR - This bear scratches her back on a tree - The similarities between the cartoon and the real bear are startling.


 
After using the tree-trunk, the female bear in Finland uses a giant branch to scratch, and she looks the spitting image of Baloo from the famous scene in the Rudyard Kipling inspired Disney movie. 
 
Jamen Percy, from London, spotted the bear during a trip to northern Finland, while watching the bears activity discreetly from an armoured hide.   He said: 'It was like a scene straight out of Jungle Book with Baloo scratching himself on the tree.  Although this was a different species of bear, they all seem to love a good tree scratch.' 
 
See more pictures of real bears and Baloo too.

The original: Baloo, voiced by Phil Harris, uses a palm tree in the 1967 Disney animation of the classic book by Rudyard Kipling 
 
 Mr Percy spent hours covertly covering the trees in honey in a bid to attract the bears.
