Jj4, the bear responsible for the fatal attack on 26-year-old Andrea Papi on April 5, 2023, will be relocated from the Alpine Wildlife Recovery Center in Casteller, Trento, to the Alternative Wolf and Bear Park in the Black Forest, Germany. This move marks a new chapter in the life of the bear that has been at the center of much attention since the incident.
The German wildlife park announced that they are constructing a specialized outdoor enclosure for Jj4. The enclosure is being designed with the highest safety standards and will ensure the bear’s well-being while keeping her isolated from visitor areas.
This decision is part of a broader effort to provide a secure and appropriate environment for Jj4, balancing both the safety of the public and the needs of the animal.
