These are the twists and turns of fate! The brown bear from Russia is now a world star.
Stepan’s story can touch any heart. The hunters found him in the forest, emaciated and starving. Mom was not around, and the bear was so weak that he did not even try to run away from people. Hearing about him, trainers Svetlana and Yuri immediately rushed to get acquainted with the bear. Saw and immediately adopted. Since then, 27 years have passed, and now the whole world knows about Stepan.
The bear grew up to be a hefty good-natured bumpkin. He is more than 2 meters tall, and Styopa weighs 137 kg. Not much for this height, because some plus-size models weigh more.
“He loves people, Styopa is very sociable,” Svetlana said about the unusual pet. If you can call it that at all. “There is not a drop of aggression, Styopa never even tried to bite someone.”
The bear loves to help his foster parents around the house: watering the garden, for example. Together they drink tea at the same table and watch TV. Every day Styopa eats 25 kg of fish, vegetables and eggs, loves condensed milk, and keeps in good shape only thanks to his love for football: the bear turned out to be a notable player.
Styopa makes a living for himself: he acts in commercials, in films (by the way, he appeared in the series “Voronins” and the film “Yolki-4”), poses for photo shoots and may even become a special guest at a wedding.
“Styopa is very affectionate, he loves to climb onto the sofa with us, flippers and is tender. He just loves hugs, ”the owners say about their favorite.
And now Stepan has a younger brother, Savva. He is only seven months old, but he grows up as sweet and affectionate as his older friend.
