Grom lives in the Sochi National Park and is brought up by specialists of the Center for Breeding and Rehabilitation of Asian Leopards.

2. After the specialists of the center took the baby for upbringing, so that he grew up healthy, he needed special food that could not be obtained in Russia. Then, WWF Russia employees turned to representatives of the German online megastore LAARY with a request to help the leopard. Employees of the online store on the same day found a supplier specialized channels and sent food from Germany to Russia.
