According to the World Wide Fund for Nature WWF in Ukraine, the brown bear population in Europe is about 14,000 individuals, of which about 200 are in Ukraine, the vast majority of which are found in the Carpathians. In the period before World War II, there were more than 2,000 bears in the Ukrainian Carpathians. But then the bear was declared an agricultural pest. He was poisoned: in the valleys they left the carcass of a horse stuffed with sodium cyanide, to which bears came, ate the meat and died. He was the subject of intense hunting. This went on for 50 years. And now the bear is included in the Red Book of Ukraine with the status of "endangered species".

The brown bear (Latin name Ursus arctos) is not only the largest predator in Ukraine, but throughout Europe. However, this animal cannot be called so huge: the body length of the Carpathian European bear is about 150-165 cm in females and 170-200 cm in males. It is a big beast, but what makes it “huge” is rather the perception of people.

Once upon a time, the brown bear inhabited all of Europe, but over the past centuries it has disappeared from most European regions. Among the reasons for the disappearance are the active settlement by humans of the former habitat of bears and excessive hunting.

The brown bear is the most famous. Different peoples made him a character in their fairy tales and legends. The brown bear has a fairly high level of intelligence, which is why his performances are often included in the circus program. It is known that among other wild animals, the psychology of a bear is closest to that of a human. On average, the weight of this bear is three hundred kilograms. However, there are both smaller individuals (weighing from 80 kilograms) and larger representatives (weighing up to 800 kilograms). The body length of brown bears is usually about 2.5 meters. It got its name due to the brown color of the fur.
