Fierce (Lyuti) was the first resident of the Utyos Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (Khabarovsky krai, Russian Far East). Which is a wildlife orphanage, primarily for Russia's tiger and bear cubs.

In 1991, being a small orphaned cub, he was found by lumbermen. They tried to trap him and in the process broke his teeth. Therefore, Fierce (Lyuti) acquired artificial gilt canines. Otherwise he would have died from hunger.

He became famous for his teeth made of platinum and gold.

Since then, Fierce (Lyuti) has found shelter at the Utyos Centre. Local people as well as people from abroad fell in love with Fierce (Lyuti) sending donations to provide him with food and medical care.
