In Parc Merveilleux in Bettembourg, I encountered this bronze sculpture of a grizzly bear in front of the horse train ride. The bear has caught some fish. I could not find anything more about this statue online.

Parc Merveilleux is a zoo and amusement park in Bettembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is the only zoo in Luxembourg, if you do not count the aquarium in Wasserbillig and the butterfly garden in Grevenmacher.
The park is a combination of a zoo, fairytale forest and amusement park, aimed at smaller children. The animals are arranged by continent. There is also a centrally located (self-service) restaurant and two playgrounds. The Parc is not very big for a zoo, and everything can be seen in a day or part. The smaller design makes the park more attractive for smaller children.
The zoo is arranged by continent. These include emus, goats, pigs, Poitou donkeys, capybaras, and porcupines. There are also two halls, namely the South America Hall Amazonia and the Madagascar Hall Mahajanga. In Amazonia, the squirrel monkeys can walk freely through the public, somewhat comparable to Apenheul. The terrariums and aquariums of Amazonia and Mahajanga, with their electric eels, turtles, tarantulas, bats and native plants, are somewhat reminiscent of the design of Burger's Zoo. There are also several aviaries with birds.
The amusement park is aimed at smaller children and includes racing cars, (mechanical) horse riding, a train. These attractions are not free and cost 1 euro each time.
