I was watching a programme on TV last night about orphaned or abandoned bear cubs in Russia that are rescued and eventually returned to the wild. They were five weeks old, had to be bottle fed every two hours then have their furry faces washed. They were adorable, real little teddy bears. They were very vocal. They have to learn to crawl then walk, just like humans.

I love bears . One of the presents I bought for the grandson this Christmas was a big Teddy Bear. The guy in front of me at the checkout commented on it and the cashier started telling me about his teddy bears.

Jane, do you have the name of the show? If so, I'll see if I can look it up. I love your recommendations!

It was called "Grizzly Bear Cubs and Me" with Gordon Buchanan. It was two programmes, each one hour long, on BBC2.
In the second programme they were 8 months old and learning the skills they would need to survive in the wild, by being in a "wilderness training zone".

I watched the first one, but am still struggling to get the second one. It is on the BBC, but they only allow playback within the UK. Anyway, the first one was fantastic. It is really cool how much they can care for the bears, without really exposing bears to humans. I was very impressed.

In the second one they had to make sure the bears were wary of humans, so if they came too close they would make a noise to frighten them away.

Funny, this is so far off from our loves ,CAG, but we love all animals. we have bears that visit in my development, we respect them and love them. They are beautiful creatures and now they only have our community with the forest due to all the overdevelopment. My neighbors even bring in the bird feeders at night so not to entice them, and the trash cans are locked or kept behind doors. We must care for all creatures.
