Caged Bear Enjoys Freedom By Stretching On Tire Swing

Playful moon bear Holly just loves to hang around at Animals Asia's bear sanctuary - so much so that at times she can hardly get up off her back!

Such is the life of Holly and others just like her at China's Chengdu Bear Sanctuary, where rescued bears' days consists of feeding, freedom and fun. Holly is one of 123 bears at the sanctuary - rescued from China's bear bile trade.

Holly, who was brought to the center just before Christmas 2012, likes nothing more than lounging around and having a good old stretch when the urge strikes. Could this be a series of exercises as part of some hitherto undiscovered bear yoga routine?

You go ahead and relax to your heart's content, Holly. We're just glad you're so happy and settled.
