Trapped bear freed following effective cooperation of Greek and Albanian organizationsThe incident, and the ensuing cooperation of the two countries' authorities, took place near the Albanian town of Pogradec, north of the Prespes Lakes region. The bear was freed on Wednesday

An adult female bear was freed from an illegal trap after the successful collaboration of Greek and Albanian authorities and wildlife organizations, it was reported on Thursday, ANA reports.

Weighing approximately 90kg and aged 5, the bear managed to survive deep in the woods for an entire week, caught in the grip of a steel wire noose, a known illegal trap usually installed by poachers. Although unable to move and fend for itself, it is believed that the bear survived by feeding on nearby roots and leaves, helping it stay hydrated.
