In a remarkable sight, a polar bear in Wesleyville, Canada, appeared to be praying beside a large cross, captured by local photographer Jessica Andrews. Known for her love of animals, Andrews took over 200 photos of the bear playing in the snow, swimming, and even striking a pose that looked surprisingly spiritual.

One photo shows the bear sitting near the cross with its paws clasped, seemingly in prayer, while another captures it standing with a paw resting on the cross, gazing towards the camera. The images have gone viral, though local authorities caution people to keep a safe distance from the bear.
