If there's anything different about Russia, there's nothing like being photographed with a bear! Leave an exclusive and special memory. Tom bear is super obedient, docile, and very smart. He is a special actor used in many Russian movies. He is more than 2.5 meters tall and weighs more than 200 kilograms.

1️⃣ Do bears eat people

You may have seen some news that bears are dangerous, but Tom is really different from other wild bears, he was raised by people, so he is very close to people. tom has been eating honey, grapes, cherries and other fruits for a long time, so he is not that eager to eat people.

He's got the eyes of a dog, and they don't fool you. Because he is always in contact with people, he can make commercials and photos. tom will take two assistants with him for safety. They also take the bear to play in the forest.

2️⃣ The bears have their teeth pulled out

Tom was raised by the bear owner from childhood to childhood, just like the bear owner's own son. Tom was not abused, and there were no electric shock collars or tooth extractions on the Internet. The bear owner loves him very much, so the whole shooting state is very relaxed, only open for three hours a day, in fact, to take him to the forest to eat fruit, take photos with human friends, and play. A man of tom's size should be spending a lot of money on food every day, so it's a good way to earn a little food for himself.

3️⃣ How do I get a photo appointment with a bear

I made a reservation directly from the bear owner. You can contact me at ig, because the bear owner does not speak English but only Russian, and can communicate with me through translation software. At that time, the predetermined price of 25,000 rubles an hour (whether the price is not known later) can be shot by 4 people an hour, and the photographer will add 5000.

There are three forests in the shooting, the location of which will be determined a day before the shooting, and there is no such desolate as passers-by. The forest is on the outskirts of Moscow, only ten minutes' drive from Sergeyev, so that day I chartered a bus to Sergei, and then went to shoot the bears just in time at 2:00 or 3:00. The snow bears are great, with a little mystery. But the sunshine is very short, the best time I think is between 12 and 3 o 'clock.

4️⃣ Is it cold to be dressed like this

Because the specific shooting time is only 6 or 7 minutes, the rest of the time is playing with tom. Immediately after the photo shoot, I wrapped up a thick coat so that I didn't feel particularly cold.

As far as I can see, tom is very nice to him. He brings a lot of snacks and eats them all the time. So the bear really doesn't attack people. Every two or three poses, he asked the bear to take a rest by itself, and Tom understood that and took a rest by himself. To tell you the truth, tom eats so much every day and is so close to his family that it's nice to get some food money. There was still a lot of time left on the day I took the photo, and tom asked my parents to also take two photos of tourists with tom. The tourists were also very happy to take photos with Tom, and were willing to pay to take photos, which was a very unique experience.

There was no place to eat, drink and play around the forest, only a bathroom, and it was buried by snow. We dug in the door for a long time before we could barely open the door and get in. There is no windproof and rainproof indoor nearby, be sure to keep warm and do well!

Finally, I hope everyone can respect and love tom, so that he will have more good feelings for human beings!!

If you see a bear in the wild, do not take a picture of it. Brown bears are very aggressive. In the article, TOM was legally adopted by his owner from a young age, so he is very close to people.
