With the support of Rosneft, 4 enclosures for polar bears with a total area of about 2.5 thousand square meters were equipped in the new complex of the Perm Zoo. Arctic predators named Seriku, Mila and Parma were transported from the old territory of the zoo to the modern enclosures.
Since 2013, Rosneft has been caring for all polar bears in Russian zoos – today there are 35 polar bears in 16 zoos in the country. The Company provides for the maintenance of the animals, their feeding, veterinary support, and also finances the renovation of the enclosures. With the support of the Company, special toys have been developed to increase the physical activity of the animals. In addition, Rosneft is implementing a program to rescue and rehabilitate young polar bears left in the wild without a mother. Since 2016, with the active support of the Company, six orphaned polar bear cubs have been rescued in the Russian sector of the Arctic.
The enclosures at the Perm Zoo for bears are equipped with air conditioners and pools in which polar bears can swim all year round. In addition, there is provision for heating water in winter and cooling it in summer, as well as generators for producing snow in the warm season.
The new territory of the zoo was opened on August 7 and is a modern complex that meets international standards for keeping wild animals. The total area of the natural landscape park is 25 hectares, which is 16 times larger than the area of the old zoo.
The male Seriku was rescued on Bely Island in Yamal, and the female bear Mila was born in the Kazan Zoo and then came to the Perm Zoo. At the end of 2024, Mila and Seriku had their first offspring – a female that Perm residents named Parma.
