It became known where the bears from the Voronezh Zoo disappeared

On Monday, November 9, the Voronezh Zoo reported that the outer part of the enclosure of Umka and Masha is temporarily closed to visitors. This decision is associated with the preparation of animals for winter sleep: before hibernation, bears eat more, gain a fat layer and begin to equip places for rest.

Now Umka and Masha spend a lot of time eating and preparing dens. During this period, they instinctively seek silence, so experts decided not to allow visitors to the outdoor part of the enclosure - so the animals will be able to complete the training without undue anxiety. They are given hay and straw to arrange the bedding.

Bears will hibernate after a stable negative temperature is established in the region. They should wake up around the end of March.

Umka has been living at the zoo since 1998 when he was brought in from the circus when he was about ten months old. Masha came here in the early 2000s from customs.
