In the icy vastness of Alaska's winter terrain, photographer Khurram Khan presents us with an unlikely comedian: a spirited polar bear cub. While one might expect this cub is simply resting in the frozen wilderness or hunting for its next snack, it has different plans.
After finding a piece of driftwood, the bear channels its inner performer, using the wood as a stage prop, as if ready to tell a joke or maybe even begin tap dancing. Khan's well-timed capture perfectly contrasts the comedy of this scene with the breathtaking tranquility of nature, revealing the wonderful surprises discovered in the wild. Who knew Alaska had its own comedy act?
