It’s not just the U.S.: In various spots around the Northern Hemisphere, it’s hot out there this week! This bear that was photographed eating fruit in a pool at the Ovakorusu Celal Acar Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in the Karacabey district of Bursa, Turkey, has the right idea. Cool off, eat some food with high water content – sounds about right.

The Rehabilitation Center, which houses bears that are unable to live in nature, was opened in 1996 as part of a "Freedom for the Bears" Project. The bear seems to be living its best life.
