Winters can be pretty chilly in northern Vietnam, but this is one little bear that knows how to stay warm. Mara, one of the three adorable cubs rescued from a smuggler, has made herself a snug little bed and, luckily, our bear manager Amanda had her camera at the ready. Now 12 months old, Mara, Mausi and Olly, who arrived at our Moon Bear Rescue Centre as malnourished little fur-balls in June 2007, are bouncing bundles of energy, constantly exploring their new home, climbing, tumbling and play-wrestling. Soon they will be moved into a nice big den with ladders, frames and paddling pool and lots of bamboo to munch on. But for now, Mara’s happy to snuggle up and snooze the winter away.
