The bear cub saved by WWF – Armenia settles in the Shikahogh reserve.
The bear cub was found in 2012. The WWF Armenian Office with the
support of its German colleagues built a temporary shelter for
the animal and hired a vet. Nursing the bear cub for 8 months, the
specialists let it free in July 2013 attaching a radio neck collar
to its neck.
Talking to ArmInfo, Head of WWF- Armenia Karen Manvelyan said the
bear cub called Masha spent the autumn in the Shikahogh reserve and
hibernated in December. In March-April, environmentalists will be
tracking the bear throughout the reserve.
Earlier Manvelyan said that the data received from the radio neck
collar could be used in a research.
