Those moves are grizzly

Planet Earth II video shows a hilarious bear who looks like he’s dancing

A GRIZZLY bear scratching in the woods has become an internet star – because it looks like he’s doing a saucy dance.

The clip from David Attenborough’s Planet Earth II shows the big brown creature writhing up and down a tree as if he is pole dancing.

The grizzly, filmed in the Rocky Mountains, busts some serious moves to the soundtrack of Jungle Boogie, by Kool and the Gang, rubbing up and down in a bear version of burlesque.

The Planet Earth team introduce the clip with: “We set up remote cameras in the Canadian Rockies hoping to film grizzly bears.

“We got more than we bargained for…”

The clip comes a few days after a video of snakes hunting down a baby iguana, from the same show, went viral.
