Andean bear sleeping above the cloud forest
An adult Andean Bear enjoys a nap on the top of the mountains of Chingaza National Park in Colombia. After having a close encounter with the animal it went down the hill towards a mountain edge and fell asleep there. After waiting for a couple of minutes the mist of the Paramo cleared and the cloud forest became visible behind him, allowing this shot to be taken.
