Serbian Electrician Raises Rescued Bear Cub, Now a 150kg Sanctuary Resident

In 2019, electrician Petar Tubic found an abandoned bear cub named Masa in the woods. He raised the animal over the years and went on to set up a sanctuary for rescued wildlife. The sanctuary now also houses a second bear, Ljubica. Tubic has expressed worry about how closely the bears have bonded with humans and what that means for their long-term future. The site has also become a local attraction, highlighting the challenges that come with wildlife rescue.
