Initially, he found himself in an animal shelter in Belgium. Now he moved to his permanent home at the Five Sisters Zoo in the Scottish West-Lotian. The zoo staff told reporters that the bear looks calm, despite a long trip of 1100 kilometers. Shortly after arriving at the zoo, he had already snapped his favorite treats - cucumbers.
At the same time, it is reported that the zoo staff will closely monitor the animal - it may have some problems similar to post -traumatic disorder (PTSD), because it visited the war zone. Yampil received a contusion during shelling. It was discovered in October 2022. The main part of 200 animals in the Donetsk region was killed. Initially, transit through Poland was brought to the Belgian shelter for animals by Natuurhulpcentrum.
Now he already has a permanent house in Western Colier, near Edinburgh. "Yampil went through a lot. He was very nervous, meeting people. We wanted to be delicate, tried not to hear loud sounds. He survived horrible. Time would show, but now he looks surprisingly calm. He drank and rested - it's nice to see. We hope that it will continue to continue, "Adam Velsh, Head of the Zoo Education Department, said.
The owner of the Five Sisters Zoo Brian Karran said that the zoo staff had worked very much when they first saw a bear who got a contusion after a projectile that was breaking up. He will live in a temporary enclosure, and the zoo staff will watch whether he does not fall into hibernation. The zoo is now raising funds for a new enclosure worth 200,000 £ 200,000 (232 520 euros), already about 70,000 euros.
