When Stephan was three months old, he was found by hunters in the forest in a very bad condition as he had lost his mother.

He was then adopted by Russian couple Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko, and 23 years later his temperament has stayed just as gentle.

He absolutely loves people and is a really sociable bear – despite what people might think, he is not aggressive at all. We have never been bitten by Stephan.He’s got so many talents and loves a picnic (no surprise there.) It’s a wonder he doesn’t eat us out of house and home.

Standing at more genericpropeciabuyonline.com/propecia-price.html than 7ft (2,13 metres) tall, Stephan is so domesticated that he sits on the couch and watches television with the couple.

He even waters the plants – far cry from that gorilla’s life.

He eats around 25kg of fish, vegetables and eggs each day but his favourite dish is a can of condensed milk. It’s as if he was once a member of the three bears Goldilocks encountered.

To earn his keep, Stephan appears in film and fashion shoots.

Watch the video of the family below and, even though there aren’t any subtitles it’s hulla entertaining.
