Man is Friends with a Kodiak Bear – level 3

20-09-2022 15:00

We all love a good bear hug, but who is lucky enough to experience the thing in its literal sense? Jim Kowalczik from the Orphaned Wildlife Centre in America is one of those chosen ones.

He has a 635-kilogram furry friend named Jimmy with a lot of love to give. He is a 20-year-old Kodiak bear, one of 11 species of rescued bears at the rehabilitation centre for orphaned animals.

Difficult words: bear hug (a tight intimate hug), literal (exact), orphaned (parentless),furry (hairy), species (a kind of animal).
