Jim and his wife, Susan, depend on themselves while caring for all the animals at the Orphaned Wildlife Center in Otisville, New York. Their goal is to provide these orphaned creatures with a safe home and, later, return to life.

However, they specialize in taking care of bears. It's a private sanctuary and is not open to the public. Nonetheless, they stay in touch with their friends and fans online and frequently share videos about these innocent animals.

Recently, the sanctuary owners decided to get the bears a new toy. So that they could play with them whenever they wanted to. One of the Syrian brown bears, Leo, was very inquisitive about the yellow ball.

At first, the giant bear was a bit inquisitive and sniffed at the yellow ball since he expected treats to fall out of it. However, Leo soon understood it was a toy with which he could play.

He moved the ball around here and there with his hands and mouth. The yellow ball had big circular holes in it. This made it easier for Leo to play soccer with it.

The adorable bear played around with his new toy for a few minutes. Then, the giant bear gently played with the yellow ball and moved it around here and there inside the enclosure. Leo looked entertained and happy with his new toy.

Jim and Susan care for all the animals, as they look healthy and happy. Leo's playful nature shows that he may be a giant, but in his heart, he is like a toddler who loves to play soccer.
