Two more Malayan bear cubs will be brought to the Moscow Zoo

Two more Malay bear cubs - a male and a female - will be brought to the Moscow Zoo. This is reported on the website of the Moscow City Hall on November 22.

Upon arrival in the capital, the animals will be placed in quarantine, after which they will be moved to the female bear, who settled in the zoo back in August.

It is noted that the names of the three cubs will be chosen by participants of the project "Active Citizen". The names Masha, Augusta, Aurora, Zlata, Javi and Sunny are proposed for the first bear cub. The boy is offered the names Lumpur, Sultan, Batik, Luchik, Ravi and Luka. The second female wants to be named Mango, Malasha, Zvezdochka, Kira, Assol and Parvati.

The report also adds that both cubs have a good appetite, eating formula milk, baby curds, fruit puree and chunks of fresh peaches, apples, mango, banana and pumpkin. The boy is active and inquisitive, likes to communicate with people, explore toys and even tries to climb low obstacles. The girl, on the contrary, behaves very cautiously and reserved, communicates with the staff only during feeding.

The first bear cub, as noted in the message, was nine months old, she has already become stronger and settled in the zoo.

"Now in our Moscow zoo will live at once three representatives of this particularly rare species. The nine-month-old cubs will join the girl who arrived at the zoo in August. She has gotten used to the new place, learned to climb ladders and logs. Despite the fact that while she is in a closed enclosure under the supervision of zoologists, the bear already has hundreds of fans," - the words of the head of the Department of Culture of Moscow Alexei Fursin.

It became known on October 25 that a bear cub from Malaysia was brought to the Moscow Zoo. According to Fursin, representatives of this species of bears have not appeared in any zoo in Russia for more than 30 years. Malay bears live in tropical and subtropical forests of the foothills and mountains of Southeast Asia. In the wild, they feed on rhizomes, shoots and fruits of plants, bees and worms, and their long and thin tongue helps them extract termites.
