Brother And Sister Bears That Survived Horror Ordeal Together In Tiny Cage Remain Inseparable Pals

The adorable footage shows two rescued bear siblings forced to live together in a tiny cage that became such good friends – they now spend their their hibernation period together in the same den in a sanctuary in Switzerland.

Amelia and her brother Meimo were caught sharing their den at the Arosa Bear Sanctuary in Graubuenden, Switzerland, on Friday, 10th February.

Arosa Bear Sanctuary officials claimed that the two furry roommates have enjoyed spending time together at the Alpine resort village after they moved from an Albanian mini zoo in January 2018.

The two 15-year-old European brown bears were reportedly given to an Albanian mini zoo in a restaurant complex when their mum became the victim of poachers .

As the restaurant owner had kept them in an extremely small concrete grid cage for 13 years, the two reportedly formed a very close social bond over the period.

Now showing their exceptionally strong connection the Arosa Bear Sanctuary said in a statement obtained by Newsflash: "Naturally, bears develop a close sibling relationship in the first two to three years of life.

"After that, they leave their mother's patrol area, [and] they then travel individually and know each other throughout their whole lives."

But putting an emphasis on the amount of time they had spent together, the sanctuary explained that Meimo and Amelia can always be seen together from spring to autumn.

The sanctuary added: "This year, they decided to spend the winter hibernation period together in the same den."

The adorable footage was viewed over 5,000 times after it was posted on the sanctuary's Facebook page last week.

Facebook user Susanne Maxim said: "This is true bear love."

User Marion Kehrli commented: "Sad and beautiful all at the same time."

Then another user named Doris Luescher added: "How sweet the two are. Thanks for letting us be part of it!"
