The polar bear can be seen stepping forward to the edge of a chunk of stone and retreating backwards eight times before eventually taking the plunge on the ninth try.

Swedish tourist Joanna Gladh, 29, was visiting the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark when she recorded the funny moment.

Joanna said: "I thought it was funny because the idea of a polar bear scared of water seems funny to me. It looks as if the bear is scared of water but in reality it was probably judging the distance of the jump or it just didn't want to get wet."
