The zoo in Ljubljana also has a brown bear – the largest beast that lives in our forests. The brown bear lives in large lonely areas with rich undergrowth, in the mountainous regions of a moderately warm zone of the northern hemisphere. The causes of extinction of the species are the reduction of forest areas, disturbance and traffic. Apart from the need for mating, their need is to find food. Due to the size of the body and the predominantly plant diet, which is not energy-rich, the bear must eat a large amount of food, which means it takes a long time to find it. In doing so, it travels long distances and moves. Unfortunately, it often also involves foods from human sources. It is large – in the length of 160 to 260 cm in length and from 120 to 200 cm in females. Females weigh from 200 to 400 kg, females from 150 to 350 kg. He can live up to 35 years. In winter it’s still, but this is not a real winter sleep. His body temperature drops by 2 ° C, and his heart rate is noticeably slowed down. Loaf at this time angle. The females are pregnant for 6-7 months. They bite 2 – 3 blind and deaf puppies that hear after 2 weeks and overlook after 4-5 weeks. The mother sucks milk for 4 months, and the mother of a bear takes care of them for 2 years. In Slovenia there are about 400 to 500 bears, most of them in the Kočevje forests.

As you know, there are a lot of brown bears in our country. Saw them in Moscow zoo + Skansen in Stockholm but never in the forest (lucky me). Also heard a lot of stories from village people who saw brown bears in the forest during picking berries.
Do you have the right conditions for a brown bear …. I have not met him in nature yet, and I do not want to
Interesting post we don’t see bears in NZ , there used to be 2 polar bears and a small brown bear but now there are none in NZ zoos
But in NZ there are no bears … even in the zoo?
No not in the Auckland Zoo. We had 2 Polar bears for a very long time but they grew old and died. I don’t think they were very happy bears, NZ is too hot for them
But for polar bears, they were probably really hot … but they do not have polar bears … even the best climate for polar bears … is probably not too good for us … it’s probably too hot
Bears are very interesting animals too!
Interesting and beautiful animals dear Ellie
We have polar bears in our zoo here but don’t think I have seen a brown bear. Thanks for sharing
White too must be very beautiful … you do not see me white
Yes they are quite charming especially the babies
I really am a noble animal my friend
bears are the apex predators of Europe and North America, right after humans
In Europe, they are certainly the biggest predators … for America I do not know …. Is there any bigger and more aggressive … maybe Puma?
pumas aren’t half the size of bears
The smaller ones are probably true … but are they much more aggressive? I do not know?
pumas are faster, and bears are less likely to waste energy chasing random things
The bear looks scary.
It looks really scary … it’s still good for the fence
So this is the main creature and native people of the forest in your country?
Would this be said … in addition to the bears, there are dangerous wolves and rice then end … these are the most dangerous animals in our forests my friend
Understandable, dear friend. They are the original inhabitants of their forest and do not want to be disturbed. Animals also have territory, right?
Of course, they have their own territory only we began to encroach on their territory which is not correct and acceptable
Then we have difficulty saying who is more entitled and more important, right?
I agree with my friend … there is too much of us in the world and we are reducing our living space and therefore we are hitting their territory … then the poor animals are guilty
Love seeing the bears, wish they could be out in the wild.
I think that they also have nothing to do here … they are in a completely natural forest and have a lot of space for movement … but it is true that it would be much nicer to see in nature just would be very dangerous … they are very aggressive
i feel sad if i see the wild animals in the captivity. But i hope they will also be preserved/restored at the same time.
I do not know what to say … they have a lot of space that is as natural as in the forest, so I do not think there’s anything they lack … it’s different for exotic animals … the climate is not that natural
its fine , i meant no offense though, it is just crazy me. ✨
What do we want … you see how it is in nature … what kind of species will exactly be exterminated … you see how wild hunters are dear friend
this is so true, poachers are everywhere and they just don’t give a damn to all these creatures.
Unfortunately, this is a cruel truth dear friend
