Like any other small children, baby bears can make a pretty big mess. So when sister Moon Bears Misty and Rain needed some cleaning up after a day full of playing and rolling around in the dirt, their caretakers thought they could use a bubble bath to clean up.
Like many other bears at Animal Asia’s Vietnam Bear Sanctuary, Misty and Rain lost their mom after poachers killed her for the wildlife trade. Without their mother, they would never have been able to survive the wild, so the bear sanctuary took them in to give them a safe home.
“Without a mother, they haven’t learned many of the basic skills that they’d need for survival,” said Steve Jackson, head of international communications at Animals Asia. “That, coupled with no safe place in Vietnam to release them, means Animals Asia makes a lifetime commitment to them.”
As part of their work raising the bears, the staff makes sure the bears are always occupied and are always experiencing new things.
While the bubble bath helps clean the two babies up after a long day playing in the mud and grass, the sanctuary also used this bubbly play-time to fulfill their sense of curiosity since they’ve never had a bubble bath before.
