Zarnesti Bear Sanctuary, Romania 2010
My first site of the bears. Not a good photo I know… too busy trying to see them!
|
Another "first sighting" resulting in a poor photo. They congregate around the bottom corner as they can see when people come past. "People" often means food.
|
I believe this guy is the biggest or 2nd biggest in the sanctuary… around 400kg
|
A smaller guy… terrible photo.
|
The cabin. 3 stories, purpose-built with holding areas, food prep, kitchen/bathroom/surveillance/meeting rooms etc
|
One of the new bears to the sanctuary…
|
Having a bit of a look around… I’d estimate him to be about 2m tall or so.
|
He stayed like this for a couple of minutes…
|
The meeting/lecture area to be used for visitors/tourists in the future
|
Tough life as a bear… I *think* this is the only non-brown bear at the sanctuary.
|
A common task – take the packaged up meat and strip off any plastic, covering etc and put the meat into the red trays. The bears love it!
|
Vegetarians need not apply…
|
The meat is often about to go out of date or has just gone out of date, and therefore can’t be sold. The bears don’t seem to mind!
|
This area has a number of bigger and stronger bears in it.
|
This guy is huge and rules the roost.
|
Some fish for breakfast…
