Jump to 2:20 to see the wild reaction of a pack of orphaned bear cubs to a worker at the Clean Forest Toropetsky Biological Research Center bringing them a meal. The center, founded in 1999 and located in the Tver region, aims to protect and preserve endangered wildlife. The bear cubs shown in the video are being rehabilitated to re-enter the wild after being orphaned.
