A vicious polar bear is about the last creature you'd expect to see lurking in an urban alleyway, but, as you can see from this video, that terrifying scenario recently went down in a Russian city.
When we last checked in with Russia, there was a guy going around the country seeing how many breasts he could feel up.

When fully grown, this bear cub may well be a dangerous killer. But for now, the little fellow's attempt to attack a human intruder is just, well, adorable.
