After the death of "Mark," an enclosure became available that is tailored to the needs of the new arrival expected in November.

The 24-year-old "Mici" has spent her life in a cage so far. Contrary to the original plan, she is now coming to Arbesbach instead of the Bear Forest Müritz in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Both shelters are operated by Four Paws.

"Tim" is also supposed to come to Bear Forest Arbesbach

Following "Mici," the animal welfare organization is also advocating for the last bear in private ownership in Slovenia, according to a release. The 22-year-old "Tim" lives in a private zoo, which, however, does not have a valid license. Therefore, the facility is closed to visitors. According to Four Paws, the private ownership of bears and other dangerous wild animals in Slovenia will soon be completely banned. Then "Tim" is also supposed to find his place in Arbesbach.
