Life is strange and unpredictable. Sometimes you stumble upon things that you would just never expect in a million years.

Imagine stumbling upon a group of bears dancing together in the forest. It sounds like something that would only happen in a fairytale or a movie, right? Well, for this teacher who was just trying to work on his photography skills, the crazy visual became a reality.

Valtteri Mulkahainen is a physical education teacher based in Sotkamo, Finland. He loves his job and working with children, however in his spare time, he likes to work on his passion projects and hobbies, like photography.

His goal was to work on his photography one day when he wandered into the forest, looking for the perfect shot. He particularly loves capturing Finland’s beautiful wildlife and has been doing so for about six years.

Little did he know that on June 3, 2013, when he went to the forest, he would stumble upon one of the most magical sights ever. So magical, it is almost hard to believe.

He was in a Finnish forest called Martinselkonen when he came about the surreal view. It seemed almost too good to be true. He was not expecting anything like it.

Suddenly, he discovered a mother bear who was with her three small cubs. He was taken aback but he wanted to be careful and not scare them away.

So he did what any good photographer would do and quietly hid so that he could capture the unbelievable moment.

“The cubs played among themselves like little children,” Valtteri told Bored Panda.

It seemed too good to be true. They were even standing in a perfect circle as they danced. They looked like they were tiny children. They were even acting like children which made it so adorable.

“They stood in a circle and began to push each other, stamping their feet; it was like dancing in a circle. They stood there for about half a minute, pushing and shoving,” Valtteri went on to tell My Modern Met.

They really were just like kids!

It seemed that, just like regular children, this group of bears was just winding down and enjoying some playtime with one another. Bears have to let loose, too.

“The cubs behaved like little children. They were playing, and even started a few friendly fights. I felt like I was on a playground in front of my house, where small children frolic around,” he said.

“That’s how much they reminded me of little children. At one point, the three of them got up on their hind legs and started pushing each other. It was like they were dancing in a circle,” he added.

As he hid away and out of sight, the photographer/teacher ended up taking photos of the bear and her cubs all night long.

These bears are actually quite common in Finland but it is rare that we actually get the chance to see them with our very own eyes.

It is so cool that he was able to capture such a special moment and it is such a good reminder for us to know that there is so much beautiful wildlife out there, even if we’re not seeing it every day!
