The taxidermy of Bobo, Macau’s beloved Asian black bear that died last Tuesday, has already started and is slated to be completed within two weeks, Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) President Jose Tavares said on Saturday.
Tavares made the comments while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a public event at Guia Hill.
Bobo was rescued from a tiny cage outside a game restaurant in Rua da Felicidade on December 19, 1986 and taken to the municipal kennels because there was no inspection document for the bear’s import to Macau, according to a report in Chinese-language newspaper Jornal “Va Kio” on December 20, 1986. The report at that time said that authorities would later put the bear in Flora Garden for the public to see.
