A horde of giant gummy bears have taken up residence on a footpath in the Maltese capital Valletta - all as part of the Malta Street Art Festival.

Drawn in chalk by Dutch artist Leon Keer - nicknamed the 'Chalk King' for his mind-bending creations - the bears 'come to life' when viewed from just the right angle.
