Obama and pioneer Bear Grylls take selfies as moderator puts American President through his paces in the Alaskan wild for 'Running Wild'

A great many people aren't excessively cheerful when they keep running into a bear mid-trek, however Obama was pleased to meet this specific mixed bag on a visit to the Alaskan wild.


The American President and pioneer Bear Grylls took various "selfies" on their stroll as they taped a scene of the British TV moderator's survival show.

'Happy this was the main Bear I met in the recreation center,' Obama clowned in a photo presented on the White House's Instagram account, which has officially accumulated more than 18,000 'preferences'.
