HILLSBORO, W.Va., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- The owner of a West Virginia wildlife sanctuary shared video of two orphaned baby bears being bottle fed in a recliner.

Joel Rosenthal, owner of the Point of View Farm in Hillsboro, posted a video to Facebook showing him call to baby bears Koda and Sara, which follow him to the recliner and quickly snuggle up on his lap.

Rosenthal then feeds the cubs with two bottles, explaining they get jealous and fight if he tries to feed them one at a time.

The sanctuary owner said the video was a few months old.

"Here is an older video of when the cubs lived in the house. I only had Koda and Sara at this time. When I fed them I would call them and they would know to climb on me as I sat in this chair," he wrote.
