21. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Stanislav Ilyin, Zoo caretaker:
"Before giving birth, she (the polar bear) refused to eat and about a month before the delivery, we made a bed for her and separated her from the male polar bear. We put her in the bed, prepared the hay, prepared the bear's lair, closed everything (so that there is) complete silence. Then when she stops eating and lays down, there shouldn't be anybody around, because in case of any outside noise, she can rise and disrupt (the delivery) of the cubs. "
