A pair of grizzly bears at a British Columbia zoo have become internet darlings this month, garnering online fans worldwide thanks to their love of lounging in an old clawfoot bathtub.

The photogenic pair have called the BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops home since 2011, but it wasn’t until this year that they became social media sensations. Known as Dawson and Knute, the 13-year-old siblings rose to fame nearly a month ago when photos of the grizzlies were picked up by a media outlet in the UK.
