Bruno, a majestic brown bear, is one of the zoo’s most beloved residents. His story began in the dense forests of northern Europe, where he roamed freely until a tragic encounter with a hunter’s trap left him gravely injured. Bruno’s paw was severely damaged, and his chances of survival in the wild were slim. Fortunately, wildlife rescuers discovered him, and with the help of veterinarians and a sanctuary program, Bruno was given a second chance at life.
Upon his arrival at the zoo, Bruno was wary and timid. The caretakers worked tirelessly to ensure his comfort, building him a spacious enclosure designed to replicate his natural habitat, complete with trees, rocks, and a flowing stream. Over time, Bruno’s trust in his caretakers grew, and he began to showcase his playful personality.
Today, Bruno’s favorite activity is swinging on a large tire hung from a sturdy tree branch. Visitors often gather to watch him interact with his environment, marveling at his strength and intelligence. Bruno’s story not only highlights the dangers of human interference in wildlife habitats but also underscores the importance of conservation and rehabilitation efforts.
