A young polar bear strayed into a village in the Russian Arctic. Locals trapped her underneath a house and called the defence ministry.
A military aircraft travelled to the island to rescue the polar bear. She travelled by a helicopter to a town in Russia’s Far East, and then people took her on a plane to Moscow. She is going to the city zoo.
Polar bears are called white bears in Russia. They live in the Arctic. They are a vulnerable species because of their changing natural home.
Difficult words: stray (move without knowing where you are going), trap (when something or someone cannot escape a place), vulnerable species (an animal kind which is in danger of dying out).
