12 Vines that show how much bears love Christmas

27 December 2015

At Animals Asia’s bear rescue centres in China and Vietnam, Christmas is a time of year when we spoil our bears even more than we usually do.

Whether there’s mince pie, nuts or coconuts that are concealed under the tree or atop the play structure – our bears will find a way to enjoy the spirit of Christmas in the best way they can! 

1/ Christmas morning

The early bird gets the present at Animals Asia’s Vietnam sanctuary

2/ Hammock bonus!

This bear solves the riddle – what’s better than an empty hammock?

3/ Can you eat the paper too?

It’s Christmas, friend… but please don’t

4/ Present opening is a spectator sport

But it can be a bit unpredictable – best to watch from a safe distance

5/ The Giving Tree

This tree has enough for everyone

6/ Greedy greedy never gets

… although Olly might be the exception to the rule

7/ “I’m saving the paper”

Some of our bears are conservationists

8/ “This box tastes so good!”

“Oh, I knew there was a present inside”

9/ Last present on the tree

This clever bear doesn’t settle for scraps

10/ For acrobats only

When getting to the present is half of the fun

11/ Acrobats, part two

Well, it might be more of a mental thing

12/ Oliver

2010 was the first year in Oliver’s 30 years on this planet that he was able to celebrate Christmas – and he showed us all how thankful we should be for every good thing that comes our way
