Even though wild animals weigh roughly 1,500 pounds, some people go above and above to show their affection for them. This dedicated wildlife keeper will go to any length to ensure the comfort of the four bears he looks after. Even if that means napping next to them.

Since 1990, the couple has cared for a large number of bears who have needed assistance. Jim, on the other hand, has never had a stronger kinship with any of the animals who live here than he does with his four favorite bears: two Kodiak bears and two Syrian brown bears. The four arrived to the institution about a decade ago, and throughout that time, they developed a very deep and special attachment with the man who looks after them.

They have such a special relationship that Jim sometimes takes naps with them to make them feel at ease. This big-hearted man can be seen resting next to his four gigantic companions in a series of lovely photos. As you might expect, Jim and his furry pals not only sleep next to each other, but they also engage in a variety of amusing pastimes together. Playing in the snow is one that everyone seems to like.
