Lassi says:

In April snow cover is so hard that even humans can walk on snow because it’s cold at night but warm by daytime. And first bears awake in April. Every April I try to take shots if some interesting happens. In that case, the raven “attacked” pushing the bear back. Ravens do it to other mammals too hoping that they will go away. The picture was taken in Finland in Kuhmo near the Russian border.
