ALASKA, USA: TWO polar bear cubs have been caught engaging in a bout of sibling rivalry as they playfully wrestled each other in the Arctic Ocean. The stunning pictures show the two cubs square up to each other in the water, before this action-packed struggle for dominance ensued. Although there was no clear winner, the wrestle at least gave the cubs a chance to blow off some steam. The images were captured by professional photographer Ian Plant (44) from Victoria in Minnesota, USA during a trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.
