Mashtuka 

Mashtuka had a sad life before she was rescued. She had been used as bait at a hunting station where she was regularly attacked by dogs being trained to hunt.

At BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr, Mashutka quickly adapted to her new environment. She is very intelligent, persistent, playful, and active. The bear loves exploring her new territory and the new enrichment items prepared for her by the caretakers.

Mashutka definitely likes observing and discovering her territory, and she will play with any object she'll find in her enclosure. This might include trees, branches, roots and all kinds of different enrichment.

After a long observation of both her and neighbouring bear, Tyson's behaviors, the team on site along with many pre-preparations, decided to take the big step and open the door between the enclosure of Tyson and Mashutka.

Now the bears live happily and calmly together in one enclosure.
