The Marsican brown bear is a subspecies of the brown bear found primarily in the Abruzzo National Park in Italy. It is known for its distinctive lighter fur and smaller size compared to other brown bears. These bears typically weigh between 100 to 200 kilograms and can reach up to 2 meters in length. Marsican brown bears are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet that includes fruits, nuts, insects, and small mammals. They are solitary animals, with males and females coming together only during the mating season. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this endangered species from habitat loss and poaching.
