Nature wins over nurture for brown bears trading zoo life for Arcturos shelter
Despite spending a lifetime in captivity in Thessaloniki's zoo, the brown bears Sasha and Alexandra have managed to adapt beautifully to a life closer to their natural wild state, at the Arcturos Shelter for brown bears in Nymphaio, Florina, and successfully entered winter hibernation, staff at the shelter reported on Thursday.
The two bears arrived in Greece in November 1993, transferred from the zoo in Belgrade. They were found when they were just three months old, wandering alone without their mother, who had been killed in a minefield.

You're a hero Roger! Can't remember the most cats we had when we used to do rescue for Cats Protection - but it wasn't that many!
Nice article but when you read on actually she's now running a shelter.
