The brown bears in Nymfeo have made their beds and gone to sleep for the winter after the recent colder weather and snow, according to an Arcturos announcement on Friday.
The Arcturos Brown Bear Sanctuary in Nymfeo stopped receiving visitors on Sunday, 17 December as the bears went into hibernation. It is the first time that the bears have entered winter hibernation so early in the 31-year operation of Arcturos.

A young brown bear that sustained a head injury in a collision with a vehicle on October 13, 2023, near the village Neapolis in Kozani, was back in its natural habitat, the wildlife protection organisation Arcturos announced on Friday.

The Arcturos wildlife protection organisation, which runs a sanctuary for brown bears in northern Greece, has asked the public for financial support so thatit can continue its operation, due to a sharp drop in revenues as the coronavirus lockdown has stopped  visits to the organisation's facilities.
