According to the administration of the institution, suggestions will be accepted during one month — from January 21 to February 21.

“Moreover, donations are still being accepted for the construction of a special enclosure for the bear. All one needs to do is buy a ticket to the zoo with a special stamp,” the press service of the zoo added.

A young polar bear crossing the river Tadibe-Yaha was discovered by fishermen of Yamal on September 30, 2011.

Later it was decided to transfer the animal to Penza zoo, where they planned to equip an enclosure for him.

Since October 2011, the bear was temporarily kept in Moscow zoo.

In late November 2012, it was taken to Penza zoo.
