Russian couple adopted brown bear when he was 3 months old and now he lives with them in their home—like, REALLY lives with them in their home
Meet the Russian couple who share their Moscow home with a 7ft tall, 300Lb brown bear called Stepan.
And, when we say share their home—we mean, REALLY share their home with him.
Stepan sits at the kitchen table with them, enjoying a nice cup of tea.
He wedges himself between them on the sofa to chill out and watch a bit of TV in the evening.
He enjoys a touch of reading, loves a good old ear scratch, and really, really loves cuddling.
Well, more bear hugging really we guess.
He loves to play ball in the garden and clown around.
And, this is no run-of-the-mill freeloading brown bear.
Oh no siree!
Stepan likes to earn his keep!
He’s not just sprawled out on the sofa all day watching TV.
He’s not like your lazy ass dog.
Stepan mucks right in—helping out in the garden, tending to the plants with his little watering can.
You know, just the regular giant brown bear kinda things.
Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko adopted the then-cub, 23-years ago, after he was found injured and alone in a forest.
They took him into their arms—and into their home—and he’s lived with them ever since.
The bear gets through 55 pounds of food a day—with his favorite nibbles being eggs, fish and veggies.
Stepan is fully domesticated apparently, and Svetlana claims he’s never once raised a giant paw against them.
He absolutely loves people and is a really sociable bear.
Despite what people might think, he's not aggressive at all.
We never have been bitten by Stepan.
Well, let's hope it stays that way.
Because, as Charla Nash found out the hard way, when it comes to wild animals, there’s always a first time.
