Cousin Burt finally found a Good Home; Haaaa haaaaaaa haaa;~)))
Meet Stepan, a domesticated bear who lives with his humans Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko in Moscow, Russia. The Panteleenkos adopted Stepan when he was just a 3-month-old orphaned cub. He was found by hunters in a forest all alone and in a very bad condition, so Svetlana and Yuriy decided to give him a home.
23 years later, Stepan has grown into a loving bear who helps around the house by watering plants and loves watching TV with his humans. “He absolutely loves people and is a really sociable bear – despite what people might think, he is not aggressive at all,” said Mrs Panteleenko. “We have never been bitten by Stepan.”
Stepan eats 25kg of fish, vegetables and eggs every day! But the goofball manages to stay in shape thanks to his love for football. He also keeps himself busy with acting in films and posing for photoshoots.

25 pounds of food per day? I think this couple had no luck with having human babies, and you gotta love something. I think I’d have the hairy, adopted son de-clawed, just to be on the safe side.
(sixth picture from the top — he’s still perfectly capable of beheading someone with a gentle slap)
Actually, the bear eats 25 kilos per day. That’s about 55 pounds of food. Expensive baby.
