Watch this adorable bear cool off from warm temps by luxuriating in a private mud bath

When the temperature rises, there’s nothing like taking a cool dip. Better still if it’s in a muddy puddle. Okay, that last part might not work for humans, but it does for many animals, and one toasty bear was caught doing what comes naturally in Roxborough State Park, Colorado, where he was filmed taking a playful dip in the mud as the mercury hit 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
