Outside, it was very cold and everything was covered by thick snow. Inside thedenwithhismother,however,Yurifeltsafeandwarm.
Then, when Yuri was only a few weeks old, some hunters came. Dogs were sent into the den. Yuri's mother was woken up by the dogs. She tried to protect her cub, but when she climbed out of the den, she was shot by the hunters.
Every year, between 3,000 and 4,000 brown bears are hunted and killed like this. There are only 110, 000 brown bears in Russia today and they almost disappear in other European countries. Their meat and fur are sold for thousands of dollars, so people will continue to hunt them. The cubs are usually just left to die. Without their mothers they can't survive(生存).
Yuri, however, was lucky. He was found by one of the hunters and he was taken to the Russian Bear Orphanage(孤儿院), 350 kilometers northwest of Moscow. The orphanage is run by Professor Valentin Pazhetnov. Here, Yuri will be looked after. He and other orphan bears will be fed and taught how to survive. When they are old enough, they will be taken to a nature reserve in Bryansk, where they will be protected. Professor Pazhetnov hopes that in the future some bears will be released (释放) in other European countries where they are now extinct(灭绝).
