Orphaned cub rescued and is part of the family now

A Chechen groom has become a trending subject on social media with videos of him fighting a bear. Animal rights activists, breathe a sigh of relief: the bear likes everything, and he himself was saved from death.

Little Balu was found next to his dead mother two years ago by Apti Dzhamaldayev's friend. The bear cub wouldn't survive alone, so they gave him a place in the stable. And just look at what the defenseless little animal has grown into.

The videos of Apti fighting the huge predator have gained millions of views on the banned social network. Now they are planning to build a bigger enclosure for Balu. He has already outgrown the old one, and in the wild he could die — he is too kind.
