Picture: Bear necessities

One-month-old bear cubs are fed in a bear orphanage in the Tver region 450 km (279 miles) northwest of Moscow February 3, 2007. The cubs were taken in as one-week-old orphans after found abandoned either because their mother was killed by hunters or scared away by loggers.

The shelter funded by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) cares for the brown bears until the age of around eight months when they are old enough to survive in the wilderness on their own.
