#Moonbearmonday: Joey takes some time out

Happy #moonbearmonday!

As you can see, sometimes it's tough being a full time moon bear at our Vietnam sanctuary.

After a thorough forage with pals, Joey was clearly in need of letting his hair, arms and even legs down.

And with pals like Joey has – who could blame him?

Sharing an enclosure with his brother Ricky, recently arrived siblings Dung and James and mischievous sisters Rain and Nora JamJack means there's always something going on to keep Joey entertained.

Joey and Ricky have been with us for two years now and have grown so much since they arrived as cubs in 2012.

Discovered being smuggled in northern Vietnam, the cubs were most likely destined for a future in China's bear bile industry.

But that's all in the past for these two happy moon bear juveniles.

Rest up Joey, you're going to do it all over again in the afternoon.

Happy #moonbearmonday everyone!
