Just a good ole bear to hang out with!!!!!
Russian Couple Adopted An Orphaned Bear 23 Years Ago, And They Still Live Together
Meet Stepan, a domesticated bear who lives with his humans Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko in Moscow, Russia. The Panteleenkos adopted Stepan when he was just a 3-month-old orphaned cub. He was found by hunters in a forest all alone and in a very bad condition, so Svetlana and Yuriy decided to give him a home.
23 years later, Stepan has grown into a loving bear who helps around the house by watering plants and loves watching TV with his humans.He absolutely loves people and is a really sociable bear despite what people might think, he is not aggressive at all, said Mrs Panteleenko. We have never been bitten by Stepan.
Stepan eats 25kg of fish, vegetables and eggs every day! But the goofball manages to stay in shape thanks to his love for football. He also keeps himself busy with acting in films and posing for photoshoots.
Cheers and Beers

A wonderful story
He was found by hunters in a forest very weak and lonely
But Svetlana and Yuriy nurtured him back to health
Now he’s a 23-year-old loving goofball!
“He absolutely loves people and is a really sociable bear”
He does enjoy his cup of tea, too
“We have never been bitten by Stepan”
“Despite what people might think, he is not aggressive at all”
Nice post Graham thanks. Love number 3. (what no cheers and beers this time).
