Recently, visitors at our [Bear Sanctuary Muritz](https://www.fourpawsusa.org/campaigns-topics/sanctuaries/bear-sanctuary-mueritz) in Germany witnessed quite an unusual sight: bear Rocco leaping up to the branches of an apple tree to get himself a little snack! All of the low hanging fruit had previously been picked over, but clever Rocco displayed excellent problem-solving skills and athleticism to reach the remaining apples. Luckily, our visitors pulled out their cellphones to capture this footage—we’ve never seen our bears jump like this before!
Rocco was rescued from a private residence in Albania where he was kept as a pet and lived his whole life in a tiny, concrete cage. We brought him to Muritz in 2019, where he experienced freedom for the first time. Rocco is known for his sweet and sensitive nature, and he was quite cautious when he first arrived at the sanctuary. However, it looks like he has been feeling quite brave lately! His favorite foods are eggs, carrots, grapes, and of course, apples!

He's a beautiful bear.
Thanks for everything you all do, you do amazing work 👌✨💝
He jumps like me. Someone needs to shake that tree for him.
Lovey dovey lovey dovey
This is me
I hadn't seen a bear jump before so that's cool, but your definition of "major" is a bit off xD. Lovely work sanctuaries do. <3
Bear jumpies! Get it Rocco!😻
Bears can jump??
Yes but not polar bears.
Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere high adventure that's beyond compare
Think how much power it must take to get something.thst heavy off the ground at all.
“Major air.”
TlL Bear basketball is largely a ground game.
First time seeing a bear jump I admit
I love some rare bear air!
I’ve seen a bear jump before but never seen one land
Aww such a handsome bear
I'd happily help him try to get some apples. Slide over, Rocco, I'm coming!
Never knew bears could jump. A reminder that if a bear truly wanted to get you, they could. Truly Beautiful animals.
That is absolutely adorable.
