brown bear) The brown bear Ursus arctos was once common throughout Europe, but is now found only in Scandinavia and the Pyrenees. In North America (this one was photographed in British Columbia, Canada) it is common in the national parks. It has a thick shaggy coat, varying in colour from blackish-brown to grey, and lives mainly on fish, fruit, roots, honey, and carrion.
