Animal cruelty remains a hot topic in Russia, with two politicians in the governing Duma body proposing a bill that would ban the inclusion of animal performers in circuses.
Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The female brown bear, named Donut and weighing around 490 pounds, was riding a hoverboard when she suddenly turned and jumped at her trainer, Sergei Prichinich, at the circus in Russia.
Donut pinned Prichinich to the ground and snapped at him for about half a minute before a worker outside the cage prodded the bear and allowed the trainer to get back to his feet.
