Amazing images show 29-year-old Russian woman Victoria Fadina hanging out with her friend Stephan, a giant bear, among other animals.

The “beauty and beast” pair is seen playing chess, reading a book and taking a selfie.

The pictures are part of a series by Russian photographer Natalia Grebesheva, 25, who likes to take interesting portraits of her wife.

"Stephan is a unique bear that lives with a family in Moscow and it is possible to book a photo session with him as he is very friendly with humans,” Natalia said.
