This is the amusing moment talented bears performed tricks for food at a zoo in China.

Five well-trained bears were in their enclosure when a visitor offered them sliced apples in Huzhou, Zhejiang.

Entertaining footage shows one of the animals jumping as the visitor signalled it by swinging his hand up and down.

Moments later, three other grizzlies stood on their hind legs and spun around before being rewarded with a piece of fruit.

One of the bears even folded its arms, seemingly begging to be fed.

The filmer said: 'They were trained, and what I did was a good exercise and a great enrichment activity for them. This kind of interaction is healthy because it stimulates them and prevents boredom.'

Bears in zoos often engage in playful activities, especially if provided with enrichment like toys, water features, or climbing structures.
