Some bears purr after they’re content material and the bear within the accompanying footage will need to have been extraordinarily content material whereas being brushed just lately.
The purring, like a finely tuned motor, is heard instantly within the Orphaned Wildlife Center’s video. But the sound is amplified when the recording gadget is positioned close to the Syrian brown bear’s muzzle.
Syrian brown bears are practically extinct within the wild. The bear within the footage is known as Jenny. She’s 17 and, other than being brushed, she likes to play within the snow and eat peanuts.
The Orphaned Wildlife Center defined through Facebook that its resident bears are brushed continuously and the fur they shed is spun into yarn to make Teddy Bears which can be auctioned to boost funds.
Part of the outline reads:
“This is Jenny, one of our adult Syrian brown bears, and yes that sound is her purring as she suckles on Susan’s hand. Typically a cub thing, but even adult bears will do this when they feel completely happy and comfortable and loved.”
Susan and Jim Kowalczik run the Orphaned Wildlife Center and personally look after the middle’s resident bears.
