The donated bathtub has become a favorite relaxing spot for two gray bears in British Columbia, who have been taking turns lounging in it—with minimal sibling squabbles—over the past year.

But after a social media call for help from the British Columbia wildlife park earlier this month, a second bathtub has been secured, and they will no longer have to share.

Dawson, a 500-pound female, and Knut, a 700-pound male, have been living at the Kamloops zoo since 2011 when they were orphaned and rescued by conservation officers after their mother was shot in Yukon.

Tracy Reynolds, the zoo's animal care manager, explains that the tub is not being used quite as originally intended.

"We wanted to have a water feature for them, but there aren't many things that can withstand a grizzly bear. So we thought maybe a cast-iron tub would be something that won't break," she told CTV News.

"We got one and put a plug in it, which was secured with a metal plate. But they pulled it out within 24 hours. So our plan for a swimming pool didn’t work, but they love the tub."

Since posting on Facebook for help in obtaining an additional tub, Reynolds says they have a tub that will be set up in the coming days and are offering it to several other species, which they plan to test on the three black bears at the zoo, who were also rescued.

She explained, "We'll see if they enjoy lounging in the bathtub just like our grizzlies do."

The zoo gained a boost in online followers after a UK outlet shared a photo of the grizzly bears in their tub, and Reynolds says she understands why these animals attract new fans and their lasting preference with the public.

"I have to say our grizzlies are hilarious. We try not to anthropomorphize them, but I can't help it, because they're always doing something really funny."

Temperatures in the southern interior have been extremely high recently, but Reynolds says the animals are generally handling the heat wave better than the humans working to care for the creatures and maintain the park. Foxes and other burrowing animals will cope with the heat by digging holes. Animals will also seek out shaded areas where they can cool down on the concrete floors. Shaded areas, misters, and water features provide outdoor relief. Frozen treats are also provided.

Reynolds said, "We gave the mountain goat a block of ice that day, and he loved it. He sat there lying next to it, licking it."
