Mykhailo

He was born in 2008. After falling from a tree and severely injuring his hind leg and other parts of his body, the bear was voluntarily handed over by the owner of the “Shepilska” recreation complex to receive professional veterinary care and supervision for his speedy recovery, further rehabilitation, and relocation to an environment closer to his natural habitat.

As a young bear, separated from his mother at an early age, he ended up at the recreation facility. The bear lived in a small cage on the parking lot, constantly exposed to the presence of visitors at the complex.

Mykhailo was prescribed a special course of treatment and we have a positive result: the wounds have healed, and he can already walk on his cured paw. After undergoing treatment, in January 2021, he went to his first winter hibernation. 

He had five toes amputated as they were damaged from his previous injury, although he is doing great, he will go through a long rehabilitation period, which can take some time.
