Headline: Rejected Polar Bear Cubs Being Raised By Human Carers

Caption: These tiny polar bear cubs are being raised by human foster mothers. The two were rejected by their mother after being born at Gelendzhik safari park in the south of Russia. Now four ‘foster mothers’ and two vets have been working 24/7 since the beginning of December to nurse the pair through the dangerous postnatal period. The unnamed cubs were born to seven-year-old mother bear Seryozhka 18-year-old male bear, Sedov. The carers are ensuring their body temperature remains stable, they get enough food, and are even giving them massages several times a day. If all goes well, they should start doubling in weight every couple of weeks and at three months be ready to venture outside.
