It’s 23 years since they offered the motherless bear cub a family. Stepan has grown up into a 300lb and 7-foot giant bear.

Some people may be ѕсагed of his nature and appearance. But Stepan the bear turns oᴜt to be affectionate and adorable. He loves hugging his humans and snuggling onto them.

Additionally, the bear has never һᴜгt people around him. He really enjoys his life with humans. Stepan even helps his human with housework like watering plants.

“He loves people and is a sociable bear – despite what people might think, he is not аɡɡгeѕѕіⱱe at all. We have never been Ьіtteп by Stepan.”

One of the bear’s hobbies is watching TV with his mom and dad. And he never misses asking them for cuddles during this time.

“Stepan likes nothing more than to cuddle up with us on the sofa at night while we’re watching television.”

Stepan eats a lot. He consumes up to 25kg of fish, eggs, and vegetables every single day. His favorite treat of all time is a can of condensed milk.

Interestingly, the bear loves moving around. He loves playing football and acting as a model for films and photoshoots.
