This giant beast clearly doesn't mind being the third wheel, joining a couple on a romantic date in the woods.
Loved-up Auckland man Osten, 35 and his girlfriend Anna, 22, weren't at all fazed when the grizzly bear joined them on a date in a secluded forest near Moscow, accordingto Daily Mail.
In extraordinary photographs, the couple relaxed on a hammock and sang songs with the bear, called Stepan, while playing instruments.

Osten set up the "date" after he saw Stepan, the friendly bear, in the news.
The grizzly is used to interacting with humans after being raised from birth by a Russian family.
The bizarre encounter was captured by Russian photographer Olga Barantseva, who said: "Both were happy that everything went smoothly, it was a dream come true.

"Both were overwhelmed with emotion. Stepan has been raised with a family since his childhood.
"He is tender like a big dog but a bear is still a fierce predator so a trainer is always nearby."
