Bears

The pair come from Belgium after being believed to have been conceived during the war in Ukraine.

Brown bears are a protected EU species but the government has launched a cull after recent attacks.

Benji and Balu are moving to the Wildheart Sanctuary on the Isle of Wight next month.

Victoria had been receiving specialist care at the Highland Wildlife Park since late last year.

In October Boki became the first brown bear in the world to undergo brain surgery for hydrocephalus.

One of the rescuers says the "stench, filth and cruelty" experienced by the bears was "horrific".
