In the baking heat of a dry summer, most of us are yearning for a nice cold dip.
If large tubs of cold water aren’t available to you though, why not experience the joy through a video – meet Billy the bear.
According to local news outlet News4Jax, the North American black bear arrived at the zoo in October last year as an eight-month-old orphan after being raised as a pet in Immokalee.
Although found running wild, Billy’s upbringing means he is too used to humans to be released into the wild permanently.
Instead, Billy shares his enclosure with Betsy, a slightly older female black bear who, according to the zoo, had appeared suited to having a companion despite the species’ usual solitary existence.
