俄羅斯夫婦養23歲大熊 每日同桌進餐看電視

The idea of sitting down for dinner with a 300lb bear is enough to put most people off their food.

與一隻300磅的熊坐在一起共享餐食絕對會使很多人棄盤而逃。

But for one family from Russia this wild idea is actually a way of life that extends far beyond sharing the odd meal at the dinner table.

但是對於來自俄羅斯的一個家庭來說，這個瘋狂的想法遠不只是分享食物那麼簡單，而是成爲了他們的一種生活方式。

On the surface Svetlana and Yuriy appear like any other ordinary couple, but for their 23-year-old bear named Stepan.

表面上斯維特拉娜和尤里就像其他普通的夫妻一樣，但是對於23歲的棕熊Stepan來說，他們可不尋常。

Russian family Svetlana and Yuriy adopted the very large bear named Stepan aged three months.

來自俄羅斯的斯維特拉娜和尤里夫婦收養了一隻三個月大名叫Stepan的大棕熊。

One of the family: Standing at more than seven foot, the large mammal has been domesticated by the couple and is now aged 23.

站起來足足有超過7英尺(2.13米)，這隻超大的動物已經被這對夫婦養到了23歲。

Bear hug: The couple say that because they have known Stepan so long his temperament is extremely gentle and he enjoys giving hugs.

熊抱：這對夫婦說因爲他們已經認識Stepan很長時間了，因此他的性格極其溫順，而且他很喜歡給人熊抱。
