MEET THE BEARS OF CHAPARRI CHOLITA Cholita
was
confiscated by the Peruvian authorities from a family that held her illegally 60
km from Chaparri. The most credible story is her mother was killed and
Cholita was sold to a circus. Circuses are the principal market for
commercialization of live bears in Peru. Cholita arrived 10 months ago in
Chaparri when she was 4 months old. She lived with Daria, a loving bear
who adopted her. Cholita is our best candidate for future release.
Her health is excellent and we are working to break the bond between her and
humans. Cholita loves wild fruit such as zapote, overo, the algarroba, and
figs. Arrival: 3 April 2002 Age: 14 months Weight: 8 kg Jan 2007 latest Photos of Cholita in Chaparri:
