After months of anticipation, the big day has finally arrived! On a bright winter’s day deep in Romania’s forests, our partners at Libearty Sanctuary swung open the gates to their new baby bear enclosure for the very first time.
Rescued baby bear cubs like Luci and Alain wasted no time getting acquainted with their new digs, climbing trees and playing with the ice that had covered their special bear swimming pool.
Watch the video to see how the cubs embraced their new forever home:
These not-so-little bear cubs have grown so much since bear lovers like you first helped rescue them. Most of these babies had been left orphaned and alone in the wild, after their mothers were shot by hunters. Meanwhile others like mama bear Alpina and her babies David and Elaine were found starving and injured on the edge of a forest.
But with your help, they were brought to safety at Libearty. Take a look at how far they’ve come!
LUCI – BEFORE
Luci was so small and frightened when he first arrived at Libearty.

Elaine and her mother Alpina were starving when Libearty first found them.

With lots of nutritious meals, Elaine is now almost as big as her mama.
TITZIAN – BEFORE
When Titzian first arrived at Libearty, he wasted no time digging into his fave snacks.

And it’s clear to see all those snacks made a difference!
