“I stress that we are talking only about the wildlife,” said Zotov.

The draft law “On Wildlife” intend to minimize the removal of wild animals from their natural habitat.

In May 30, 2016, Daily Mail reported a Russian couple Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko adopt a bear named Stepan when he was aged just three months.

 

The big mammal is 23 years old, weighed a whopping 300 pounds and stood at a height of more than 7ft.

The Panteleenko’s said Stepan is so domesticated he cuddles up to them in the evening and watches TV on the sofa.

The bear even helps out by watering the flowers but eats a hefty 25kg of fish, vegetables and eggs a day.
