Seven-year-old polar bear Commander Sedov shakes off water in his pool at the Royev Ruchey zoo while playing with a ball in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, October 4, 2009. Unusually warm weather for this time of the year with temperatures over 20 degrees Celcius (68 degree Fahrenheit) has prompted the bear to spend much of his time in his pool.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the majestic Commander Sedov, a seven-year-old polar bear, shaking off water in his pool at the Royev Ruchey zoo in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. The image captures an endearing moment as he playfully interacts with a ball. The date of October 4,2009, is significant as it marks an unusual occurrence of warm weather for that time of year. With temperatures soaring over 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit), Commander Sedov finds solace and relief in his refreshing pool. The photographer Ilya Naymushin skillfully captures the essence of this extraordinary scene. The contrast between the powerful presence of the polar bear and his playful demeanor creates a visually striking image. Commander Sedov's choice to spend most of his time in the pool during these unseasonably warm conditions showcases not only his adaptability but also highlights how climate change affects even those residing within zoos. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these magnificent creatures and their natural habitats. It prompts us to reflect on the impact our actions have on wildlife around the world. Through this single snapshot frozen in time, we are invited into Commander Sedov's world – one where innocence meets strength amidst changing environmental circumstances.
