The world in photos: Dec 14 - 20

A polar bear rests its paws on a driver's truck door, standing on its hind legs, and takes a peek at the tourist inside in this photo released on Dec 15, 2015. The curious 6-feet tall bear appears to be deep in thought as it drops down to inspect the tyres of the vehicle, which was parked on a snowy road in the town of Churchill in northern Manitoba, Canada. Photographer Raymond Yue captured the encounter during a trip to the Canadian town where polar bears are prevalent, especially around the coastline. [Photo/IC]
