Oreja and Nikki, two bears from the zoo of the American city of Beardsley, are depressed.

To help overcome depression, this time veterinarians have opted for medicines and will give them a treatment based on St. John's wort. Since this herb is used to help overcome situations of human depression, veterinarians believe it will also help bears. The two bears have recently arrived at Beardsley Zoo. They arrived well, but in a few days they turned around inside the cage and began to do so. Since they intend to give the bears abundant St. John's wort, they should take some measure of sun protection, otherwise they could develop some allergy.
