The two military seals - Winnie the Pooh and Laska - held toy guns and knives dived through obstacles and raised flags during a performance at Russia's Victory Day parade on May 9th.

Evgeniy Baranov, founder of the world's first seal circus, said: 'The new show is a logical development of the tricks that our seals learned earlier. With every rehearsal they get better and better.'
