Water cool-off moment moment two adorable bear cubs chill out as they clamber into a garden water trough to shelter from a heatwave.
The cubs were caught on camera outside a house in Kastamonu, central Turkey, as tempertures in the region soared to 33 degrees Celsius.
Video footage of the dip from 6th June shows both youngsters as they bounce up to the trough through woodlands.
While one explores, the other wastes no time jumping in for a dip as it blissfully splashes around in the cold water.
Then after cooling off, it leaps out to forage around for any easy pickings for food.
Meanwhile, the second cub takes its place and sinks down in the water right up to its neck as it wallows in relief from the early summer hot snap.
After knocking a cover off to give itself more room, the youngster gets out and shakes itself off before joining its sibling back in the woods.
Weather experts say Turkey has been hit by a searing heatwave this month with temperatures rising up to the mid-30s Celsius.
