Out of the cage after 14 years of progion. The images of thebear of the moon Ti Map, who has finally left behind every cruelty suffered for thebile extraction and freely enjoys the grass of a nature reserve that has become his new home.
His rescue was rather troubled, as the team of animals asia to retrieve it he had to go on a journey through all of Vietnam. Since then, this splendid specimen that in the past had never known freedom, has undergone a long journey of rehabilitation.
His first steps in the grass are a real miracle.

And here he is today, breathing freedom. Once free, this moon bear he stared at the outside area from the open door for weeks, until he defeated all hesitation.
“Fortunately Ti Map has improved a lot and can stay on the grass. He is not yet completely comfortable in the outdoor enclosures and prefers to be inside, although this aspect is by no means unusual among bears that have been locked in a cage for a long time. He just needs to learn to trust and let himself go into the great outdoors, where he has the opportunity to forage and enjoy life in a much more comfortable way than he has unfortunately done in the past ", explains Sarah Dempsey, Bear Manager. by Animals Asia.
Adapting to this new life is not easy for children moon bears used to extract bile who have suffered psychic damage like him, who reacts to stimuli differently from other bears.
