Colossus of the Alpine researchers catch powerful 241-Kilo brown bears

Date:

Italian nature experts were able to capture a complete brown bear in the border area for the Carintic Gailtal! Despite the winter support with impressive men of 241 kilograms, a GPS channel band was equipped and re -released. Brown bears are the biggest predators in Europe.

Wednesday of the Night, nature experts in the ‘Lynx Italy’ project at the University of Turin in collaboration with Tarviser Carabinieri and veterinarians from the University of Udine, the catch of the Brown Bear. “We were all surprised because the adult animal, which has been drawing its track in the Grenzbergen of the Carnic Alps for years, weighed a remarkable 241 kilogram,” says the well -known and internationally recognized Italian large -scale robbery specialist Paolo Molinari.

The weight of the colossus is particularly remarkable for the scientists, because bears normally have lost a large part of their fat reserves after the winter rest.

The fishing campaign, which is intended to serve scientific purposes, took place in the untouched high valleys of the municipality of Malborghetto, which borders directly on the Carinthian community of Feistritz one of the Gail.

Equipped with a GPS channel band, the researchers can investigate the behavior of the bear and his migration movements. “The data offers valuable insights into the complex coexistence between people and the wild animal and are intended to help develop strategies for harmonious coexistence,” explains Molinari.

Research knows the Italians that two bears live here in the border area and also winters. Molinari: “Two to three young bears are added on a walk every year.” There are still no bearded descendants because they are only men. Nature specialist Molinari is not thinking of one of the exposures of a woman, because they are often challenged: “You just have to give nature their time. It is different with the Lynx, we had to act because our population was about to expand.”

Molinari estimates the prisoners and released 241-Kilo Colossus at the age of 18 to 20 years. “We know more about the bear when we know its genetics, but it is known that the DNA evaluation takes longer.”
