NATURE: “THE BROWN BEAR”
Jan 27, 2010 Asturias, Castilla y León, Nature, Landscapes, Tourism, Natural Tourism
The brown bear used to exist practically in all the continents of Europe, Asia and a large part of west North America. Unfortunately, as the centuries past, the presence of the brown bear has reduced, although it continues to exist in a sufficiently extensive area today.
The brown bear lives in a variety of habitats, from semi-desert cold climates to coastal areas or even the Arctic tundra. But its habitat par excellence is the forest and it is one of the most common mammals to be found in Siberian or Scandinavian taiga conifer forests, or in mixed-type forests in eastern Europe and the Pyrenees, or in deciduous beech, oak and birch forests along the Cantabrian Chain. The few bear populations that exist in Western Europe are found in the highest mountain massifs where human presence is slight.
