EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Ilya Naymushin, we witness Pamir the bear seeking respite from the scorching heat of a summer day at Royev Ruchey zoo in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The image portrays an 11-year-old Tien Shan White Claw bear being showered with water to cool down amidst an air temperature hovering around a sweltering 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). The close-up shot showcases every detail of Pamir's majestic presence as he stands under the refreshing cascade. His fur glistens with droplets of water, emphasizing his wild beauty and expressive nature. With his mouth slightly open, it is evident that he relishes the momentary relief brought by this creative use of water. This snapshot captures not only Pamir's individuality but also highlights the importance of preserving our environment and its inhabitants. As a predator in the wild animal kingdom, Pamir symbolizes both strength and vulnerability against rising temperatures caused by climate change. The absence of people in the frame allows us to focus solely on Pamir's experience while appreciating nature's wonders. The splashes created by falling droplets add movement to the picture, further enhancing its visual appeal. Ilya Naymushin skillfully encapsulates this extraordinary moment where beauty meets necessity – showcasing how even fierce creatures like bears seek solace from extreme weather conditions through simple acts such as cooling showers.
