Brown Bears

22 years ago, the first brown bears arrived to Murcia.
"The first brown bears born in the city turn 21 years old. These are the descendants of the first animals of this species that arrived in the city on March 27, 1997. It was the City Council of Murcia who managed their transfer to prevent them from being slaughtered in Sobrón (Álava, North of Spain). Since then, they were part of the municipal zoo and were, subsequently, the first tenants of Terra Natura coinciding with its opening.
A year later, two babies were born from that couple, a male and a female, who are now celebrating their 21th anniversary. Their birth generated great expectation at the time and their names, Yaqui and Nuca, were chosen by the neighbors themselves through the media. In addition, there were many Murcia who visited them to meet them in the first person." Source: Terra Natura Murcia.
