Bear Erich

A careful European brown bear

18.4.2022

Erich was born in 2010. He arrived at the BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach on October 6th, 2015. Until then, he had lived together with his sister and mother in a small concrete enclosure in a park in Upper Austria. Officials closed down the park in 2012. FOUR PAWS took in the bears and transferred them to the BEAR SANCTUARY in Arbesbach.

Erich has settled in quickly and is enjoying his life. His favourite foods are nuts, pears, apples, lettuce and grapes.

He likes having a bath in the pond or inspecting a new enrichment object filled with delicious treats.

Since arriving at BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach in 2015, Erich has truly come into his own — thriving, relaxing, and enjoying every moment. Known for his love of the pond, where he swims and lounges for a long time, Erich has recently added a tasty twist to his wellness routine: snacking on apples while chilling in the water! A refreshing treat and a peaceful dip — sounds like the perfect bear day, doesn’t it?
