LONDON (AP) — An unlikely refugee from the war in Ukraine — a rare Asiatic black bear — arrived at his new home in Scotland on Friday and quickly took to a meal of cucumbers and watermelon.

The 12-year-old Yampil was named for a village in the Donetsk region where he was one of the few survivors found by Ukrainian troops in the remains of a bombed-out private zoo.

Yampil, who had previously been called Borya, was discovered by soldiers who recaptured the devastated city of Lyman during the Kharkiv counteroffensive in the fall of 2022, said Yegor Yakovlev of Save Wild, who was among the first of many people who led the bear to a new life.

The bear was found in a menagerie that had long been abandoned by its owners.

Almost all the other animals had died of hunger, thirst or were struck by bullets or shrapnel and some were eaten by Russian troops.

Yampil narrowly missed the same fate, suffering a concussion from a projectile that landed nearby.

“The bear miraculously survived,” said Yakovlev, also director of the White Rock Bear Shelter, where the bear recovered.

“Our fighters did not know what to do with him, so they started looking for rescue.”

What followed was an odyssey that your average bear rarely makes, as he was moved to Kyiv for veterinary care and rehab, then shipped to a zoo in Poland, then to an animal rescue in Belgium, where he spent the past seven months, before landing in the United Kingdom.

Brian Curran, owner of Five Sisters Zoo in West Calder, Scotland, said his heart broke when he learned of the plight of the threatened Asiatic black bear.

“He was in terrible condition; five more days and they wouldn’t have been able to save him,” Curran said. “We were just so amazed he was still alive and well.”

The bear was skinny but not malnourished when he was found, said Frederik Thoelen, a biologist at the Nature Help Center in Belgium.

He now is estimated to weigh a healthy 440 pounds (200 kilograms), Thoelen said.

The nature center in Belgium, which usually treats injured wildlife and returns them to their natural settings, has taken several animals rescued from the war in Ukraine, including a wolf, a caracal cat and four lions, though those animals had not experienced the ordeal Yampil endured.

It was remarkable how calm Yampil was when he arrived in Belgium, Thoelen said.

The bear was trained in the past two weeks to move from his enclosure to the crate that would transport him across Belgium to Calais, France, then across the English Channel on a ferry to Scotland.

Pastries from a local bakery were used for good measure to lure him Thursday into the cage, where he was sedated for the journey.

“We want to use the food that he likes most, and for most bears — and for people also — it’s sweet, unhealthy foods,” Thoelen said.

Thoelen had a sense of the bear’s weight as he drove the crate to the port.

“Every time when we had a red light or a traffic jam, when the bear moved a little bit, you could feel the van moving also,” he said.

“You could feel it was a heavy animal in the back of the car.”

Yampil arrived at the zoo about 15 miles (25 kilometers) west of Edinburgh and immediately made himself at home.

He feasted on cukes — said to be his favorite food — and melon, said Adam Welsh, who works at Five Sisters.

The Asiatic black bear is listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species as vulnerable to extinction in the wild, where it can be found in central and southern Asia, Russia, and Japan.

It’s known for the distinctive white crescent patch on its chest that gives it the nickname moon bear. It can live for up to 30 years in zoos.

It’s not clear if the bear will go into hibernation. The winter has been warmer than usual but colder days are on the horizon.

The zoo has other bears, but Yampil is the only Asian bear and unique in other ways.

“We’ve had circus bears, for example, that have been rescued,” Welsh said.

“We’ve had bears rescued from places like roadside restaurants where they’ve been used as kind of roadside attractions and been kept in subpar conditions. But this is the first time that we’ve worked with an animal that’s been rescued from a war zone.”

Can I have a black bear layout for Discord? Can the profile picture have the transmasculine flag? I'd also really like themes of snow! ty ty!!

absolutely! as a transmasc black bear myself this was especially fun to do.

since you specified discord; i added theme colors that matched depending on if you have nitro or not, as well as including a circle flag background as alternate

also, since you didn’t specify if you wanted a bear in the header or not, i added a header with and without that i thought matched nicely so you have some options!

ps! i got your other ask just in time! so moon bear it is! 🌝

hope you enjoy!

China: Pharmacies Turn Their Back on "Brutal" Bear Bile

Chinese consumers have begun to turn against the use of bear bile in traditional medicinal products.

According to the China Daily newspaper, more than 150 drug stores have announced that they're no longer going to stock traditional Chinese medicines which use bear bile, as the extraction process is painful to the animals and often leads to fatal illnesses. One pharmacy chain said it acted after video footage showing the extraction of bile caused uproar on social media, leading to a drop in sales. "We found that there is a shared sympathy for the bears, and most of the customers agree too," pharmacy chain manager Zhong Yuanwei said in response to a campaign launched by an animal charity.

China's state news agency Xinhua says that medical practitioners, including many doctors that practice traditional Chinese medicine, have doubts over the safety of bear bile, which is used to treat eye and liver problems. Last year, one bear bile company scrapped its stockmarket launch over a wave of condemnation against the practice.

Purble the purple yurble thuamaturge (say that 3 times fast)

Self-proclaimed nemesis of The Wizard. Hater of necromancy. Has this sort of heros rivalry going on with The Wizard, except it's completely one sided because The Wizard is hardly aware of their existence. so Purble will be plotting like "ohhh I'm going to take care of that no good evil wizard for good and be rid of necromancy in these lands!" and then cartoon-ass tom and jerry style hijinks ensue where they regularly try to foil The Wizard, but fail every time because The Wizard keeps obliviously stepping over their traps, or befriending the summoned beast sent to kill her, etc, etc.
