TIRANA — After more than two decades in a cage at an Albanian restaurant for diners to look at, brown bear Mark is heading towards a better life in an Austrian sanctuary.

Until now, he has spent his life entertaining visitors to the Sofra e Ariut restaurant in Tirana along with his sister Liza.

Left out in the open and at the mercy of extreme weather, the bears were never allowed to hibernate, said Four Paws. His poor diet and 20 years in a cage means he suffers from joint, muscle, eye and vital organs problems, said the Four Paws experts. This is the 34th wild animal the organisation with help of its peers has moved out of Albania, he said.
