We’ve all been complaining of the soaring, unbearable temperatures! But look at these adorable sloth bears coated in fur... how are they coping?!

Wildlife SOS, that currently houses almost 400 sloth bears rescued from illegal ‘dancing bear’ practises, came up with innovative ways to give some respite to the furry creatures.

The sloth bear is on a mission! Have to have that yum popsicle!

The most popular with the bears, unsurprisingly, are the ice fruit popsicles.

Almost there.

Yay! Managed to finally crack the right pose!

They’re an endangered species and protected under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.

Aside from their frozen treats, the bears are being well taken care of in other ways too.

We provide the bears glucose water, electrolyte solution and herbal medication to help them stay hydrated.

There are even water sprinklers and splash pools for the bears to laze around in after they’ve had their fill of treats.

Watermelon ice popsicles to the rescue this summer.

Let’s hope the regular dips and fruit popsicles are enough to keep these bears cool this summer!
