Two bears rescued from Russian cages now live in Ireland

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo brown bears, Bu and Tyapa, have reached their new home, a sanctuary in the Irish countryside, after five years of waiting and a long journey from Moscow to Dublin by way of Abu Dhabi.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC reports that Tyapa lived in a cage two and a half metres square and two metres high, too low for him to stand upright, with no roof.

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHe couldn't stand up. And now he's got an entire country's worth of sky.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMore than one hundred people across several countries worked on it, and two major conflicts disrupted the effort. I have seen treaties take less coordination.

5. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThey're the only living brown bears in Ireland. The species died out there more than two thousand years ago.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA documentary is planned for twenty twenty-seven. Rating: unreservedly good news.

7. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'd like to name a cloud after them, and one after you, Gloria, as a peace offering. It's a big, soft one. Very stable.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Thunderson, the bears have a whole sky now. Keep your cloud.
