Cousin Wendy found the bear amusing as she stood next to the Somiedo River.
"capital" of Cantabrian Brown Bear country in Spain. In the 1990s, these bears were on the brink of extinction with only about 60-80 individuals left in the entire Cantabrian Range. Thanks to intense conservation efforts and the cooperation of local "Somedanos," the population has rebounded to over 370 bears today. Somiedo serves as the primary stronghold for the western nucleus of the population. These bears are primarily vegetarians.
