Most of us may think it is impossible to live with a bear under the same roof. But one couple in Russia says it is possible, and actually, it has been their way of life for more than 20 years.
The couple adopted the 23-year-old bear when he was just three months old. Since then, the animal that’s named ‘Stepan’ has been domesticated.
The bear stands at 2-point-1 meters high, weighs about 136 kilograms and eats 25 kilograms of fish, vegetables and fruit a day. The couple says Stephan is very gentle, and even likes giving bear hugs.
