“This rare footage confirms that brown bears are still inhabiting the national park, reflecting the stability of the local ecosystem,” the park administration stated.
The Tien Shan brown bear is a relatively small subspecies of the brown bear, typically measuring between 1.5 and 2.2 meters in length and weighing 135 to 200 kilograms, though larger individuals have been documented. It is distinguished by its long, pale claws on the front paws.
An omnivore, the bear feeds on grasses, roots, bulbs, berries, and fruits, and occasionally preys on marmots and pikas. It is also known to scavenge when necessary.
