Brown bear
Ursus arctos
The brown bear lives in forests, mountains, and vast natural areas across Europe, Asia, and North America. It is generally a solitary animal, although it may be seen with other bears in areas where food is abundant or during the breeding season. Habitat fragmentation, conflicts with human activities, and disturbance caused by human presence are among the main threats facing some populations.
