Syrian Bear by Ghirin

Syrian Bear

Author: Ghirin

Syrian bears are small-sized brown bears native to the Levant and southwestern Asia. Very few exist in the wild and the species maybe extinct there; however, Syrian bears are found in zoos around the world.

Many authorities do not consider the Syrian bear a true subspecies, but it is sometimes referred to as Ursus arctos syriacus.

The Syrian bear is thought to be the bear mentioned in the Bible.
