Mansur (Медведь Мансур) is a bear who lives in Russia. He was found orphaned while still a cub in the Tver Oblast and raised by pilots and now lives in a reserve on the Oreshkovo airfield after raising money to fund it.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Mansur's name means "a bear" in the local Kaluga region's Turkic language of Altai languages.[5]
