Black bear takes over Nikon DSLR from wildlife photographer, appears to shoot photos

 

 

Remember the lioness we told you about last month who seemed to enjoy munching on a Canon 5D Mark II? Well, check out this black bear who seems to be enjoying taking photographs with a Nikon digital SLR.

The Nikon camera belongs to wildlife photographer Dean Swartz who had this to say about seeing his DSLR taken over by a budding bear photographer.

"This young black bear interrupted me as I was taking photographs of a sow and her three spring cubs in Orr, Minnesota," Swartz wrote. "She'd been observing me work for about forty-five minutes and, when her curiosity got the better of her, she tried her newly learned photo technique. One of the most memorable experiences I've ever had photographing wildlife. I hope it was as thrilling for her as it was for me!"
