The 34-year-old bear Nada from the Bear Park near Belitsa has died.

"She had not been feeling very well for the past few months and a vet checkup was scheduled for July. Ultrasound and x-rays showed that Nada was suffering from advanced osteoarthritis as well as spinal problems due to her age. Drug therapy was prescribed, but for "Unfortunately, her condition did not respond to the painkillers and other medications, so in order to spare her further suffering, we had to say our final goodbyes," the Park said.

Nada was a former dancing bear.

She was rescued in 2003 and was able to put her sad past behind her and enjoy a long and peaceful life at Belica BEAR PARK, which Four Paws manages together with Fondation Brigitte Bardot.

Nada shared her sector with Bobby, Dana and Charlie for about 19 years.

She lived in harmony with her "roommates" and was one of the leaders of her group.
