We are over the moon that Diego is safely here, at his forever home, and we are incredibly proud of all our team and also the public who helped us get here by donating to Diego’s cause.
Diego was found orphaned in the woods near Orsa, Sweden and brought to the Wildlife Center there. He was the last of the 15 bears to leave Orsa after the park closed. Luckily all 15 could be placed in other zoos/parks.
From watching the heart wrenching tears on those that cared for Diego in Sweden – at the thought of losing him forever – to him now being here at his forever home, we can’t explain the joy.
When I saw Diego in Orsa he was a little cubbie – and look at him now! What an impressive and beautiful bear boy he is!
We have worked with an incredible team of experts, and we are all so excited to get to know him, providing him with world class care and a living environment. Not only is this a milestone for us but it helps us educate the public on the role of brown bears in the ecosystem.
Thank you to @wildwoodevon for stepping in to accommodate Diego, in Devon, by offering him a place to sleep.
Our lovely brown bear, Diego, has been enjoying himself this weekend! He loves his water pool, rolling around in the wood chippings and he’s got lots of new smells too! 🐻
Diego has definitely decided that the pool is a firm favourite! 🐻
Diego’s story is one of hope, strength and unwavering commitment to save the life of a bear whose time was running out. We are delighted to welcome you to see Diego from 28th March.
This is Eva who also came from Orsa.
Thank you Jimmy’s Farm for offering a home with loving keepers to Diego and Eva!
DIEGO is indeed a most pretty bear boy
( or ‘BBB’ = ‘Beautiful Bear Boy’ ).
“Love is in the air” when reading this press release and when seeing those gorgeous photos of the bear with his dark dense fur and candid look.
Thanks for the informative report and pics of “JIMMY’s FARM” and thanks to Mervi for sharing all this with her readers/watchers!
JA, Diego ist ein ganz imposanter Braunbär und es wunderbar, dass er und auch Ewa so ein tolles neues Zuhause bekommen haben !! 🐻🐻❄️👍
Es wäre schön, wenn Ewa und auch Diego nicht alleine bleiben, sondern bald eine Gefährtin, einen Gefährten bekommen… Platz genug wäre ja!✊
Dear Mervi!
I am so happy for Diego and all the animals who had to leave Orsa and for whom a good new home could be found. Jimmy’s Farm has proved to be a jackpot for Diego and Ewa, among others, and I am very grateful for the engagement of all the people who have made this possible.
Diego really is a very smart and handsome bear and I’m sure he brings a lot of joy to keepers, visitors and everyone who gets to see him.
Thank you very much for this great report!
