There are about 5000 (even it it were 10,000) in Romania, which is way less than 50% of the european population.

- keiferski 3y agoI don't see any numbers in the link you provided. Edit: I looked again and I think you're referring to the image. It looks like the link I referenced was excluding Russia. Romania does seem to have 60% of bears everywhere in Europe west of Russia and parts of Finland and Estonia.
- ReleaseCandidat 3y agoRomania has about 5000, Slovakia and Ukraine about 2000 about 4000 from Ex-Yugoslavia to Greece and 2500 in Scandinavia. So, still way less than 50%.
- keiferski 3y agoI think the confusion might be because the Carpathian zone includes Romania, Slovakia, and Ukraine, and the site I linked to is using that number solely for Romania. In any case, it's not my website and the general point remains that the specific region has a big percentage of European bears.
- ReleaseCandidat 3y agoI didn't want to critisize you, just to get the numbers straight. I'm actually living in one of the regions with many bears (the northern end of the lower tatras) in Slovakia.
