If you love teddy bears, then I am sure you’ll love to see these big and bulky gentle giants -Brown bears.
These cool animals, like humans, can stand on two legs, walk on their feet and pick up a lot of things with their fingers.
They also have the ability to communicate through scratch marks on trees, smells and sounds.
Brown bears have become prey to wildlife hunting and other conflicts with humans and were once considered endangered.
But through continuous awareness, the brown bear population has since become stable.
