Orphaned bears discover the splash pool at their new wildlife park home.

This is the moment two sibling bear cubs, Mish and Lucy, complete the final leg of their journey from being abandoned by their mother in the Albanian mountains where they faced certain death to arriving at their custom-built enclosure in Devon.The Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) siblings, Mish and Lucy were rescued from the Albanian mountains where their mother abandoned them in 2019.After a successful fundraising campaign by the Wildwood Trust, the cubs were moved to a temporary enclosure in Belgium then to Kent and finally, they arrived at their 'forever home' at Wildwood Escot in the British South Western county of Devon earlier this month (4th June).In a statement, George Hyde, Wildwood Escot General Manager, said: "Lucy and Mish had a really tough start in life but really thrived under the care of our expert keepers in Kent."He added: "We canโ€™t wait to continue the great rehabilitative work that the team has already started."Lucy and Mish were abandoned in the Albanian mountains by their mother possibly due to the stress caused by the destruction of their habitat.Devon, England(Wildwood Trust/Zenger News)
