5 Eur 2023 - Brown bear
The brown bear is our largest animal. It has a stocky body, small eyes and ears, a short tail, prominent claws and thick 8 to 12 cm long fur with a wide range of shades from light brown to almost black. The male is usually heavier, it can weigh up to 350 kg. It occurs mainly in the mountainous regions of central, northern and northeastern Slovakia. It likes mixed and coniferous forests. The bear is an omnivore. The vegetable component makes up 90% of its food. The remaining 10% consists of carrion, smaller animals, insects and occasionally sick or injured wild animals. It spends the winter period, approximately from the beginning of November to April, in the dens. Bears with cubs are the first to climb into the dens and the last to climb out of them. The male searches for the female only during the mating season, mostly from the end of April to the beginning of August. The cubs are born during January and February, in the safety of the winter den, blind, with short fur and weighing less than 500 g. In the wild, bears can live more than 30 years.
