A grizzly bear at the Akron Zoo in Ohio, USA, recently put on quite the show for amused visitors when it began to scratch an itch. According to News 5 Cleveland, the bear, named Cheyenne, has become a celebrity online after she was filmed scratching her behind by the glass wall of her enclosure.
The video, which has gone viral online, appears to show Cheyenne 'dancing' as she relieves the pesky itch. Many viewers said it reminded them of Jungle Book's Baloo scratching himself in the song Bare Necessities.
