Young Bodia is five years old. He first arrived at the Bear Rescue Station near Zhytomyr thanks to the TV programme 'Groshi', Channel 1+1, which bought this bear cub from animal traders via the Internet. Later, he moved to the 'Nadiya' Rescue Center (now 'White Rock'), and then on to the BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr.
 
Bodia loves climbing trees from where he can overlook the whole territory and monitor everything that is going on.

His favourite foods are nuts and grapes.
