Russia: Orphan bear cubs taken to Siberian wildlife rehab

Three bears cubs found undernourished in a Siberian forest were taken to an animal shelter in Russia's Far East to prepare them for living in the wild, as footage from Thursday and Friday shows.

Chelyabinsk animal rights fund “Spasi menya” (Russian for “Save me”) volunteer Karen Dallakyan escorted the animals on a flight from Yekaterinburg to Khabarovsk.

The cubs were found in March after their mother was likely killed by poachers. On April 11 volunteers delivered them to “Spasi menya”s site in Chelyabinsk.

There the babies got their names as Maximus, Minimus and Medea. On Friday, the cubs were brought to Utyos animal shelter in Khabarovsk where they are expected to spend about a year.
