Do bears live in a cave?
Although bears are commonly thought to sleep in caves, they actually make their dens in a variety of places, often lining their nest with grasses, leaves, and twigs. These dens may exist in open nests, brush piles, fallen trees, rock piles, excavations, hollow trees, and human structures.
Are there any bears in Germany?
Outside Russia, there are about 14,000 bears in Europe, mostly in Romania and the Balkans. But the brown bear has been making a comeback elsewhere in central Europe too, aided by resettlement projects in Austria, Italy and France. Last time round, it was hunted to the verge of extinction in Germany by farmers.
