The bear, who was seriously injured Sunday June 5 in north-west Spain while protecting her cub from a male attack, could be found alive in a burrow near her cub
The bear who fought to protect her cub from an attack by a male in north-west Spain on Sunday June 5 and was seriously injured was found alive in a cave near her cub, reports ” El Diario Montanés”, which publishes photos of this search.
After a fierce fight, the two bears had fallen about a hundred feet, and the attacking male had not survived.
After several hours of research, the specialists from the Environmental Service of Castile and León were able to find the trail of the female and observed how she escaped alive into a cave and suckled her young.
Authorities also confirmed that the second cub in the litter had been killed by the same male three days earlier. Keep in mind that it is not uncommon for male bears to attack cubs that are not their own during the rut in order to mate with their mother to secure their own offspring.
