It was too dangerous to leave such a young cub in the wild, as he wouldn't survive without his mother's care; usually, it takes a few years before the bears begin an independent life.
The rescuers named the baby bear Baloo and treated him to oat flakes, honey and milk. Vets examined the animal's health and decided to send him to a new home in the Meshchyora National Park in the Vladimir region where he will be accompanied by Masha, a bear rescued from a circus, an official representative of Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment told Sputnik.
