Huisdier thuis
Brown bears do not construct specific shelters or nests like some other animals do. Ze vinden meestal natuurlijke schuilplaatsen, zoals grotten, rotsspleten, holle houtblokken of dichte vegetatie, om te rusten en te slapen. Deze schuilplaatsen bieden bescherming tegen de elementen en roofdieren. Brown bears may also occasionally dig shallow depressions in the ground or use overturned trees as temporary shelters. During the winter months, some brown bears construct dens for hibernation, which are usually located in caves, burrows, or under fallen trees.
