Today, the Protection Service of the National Park (NP) Biogradska Gora noticed traces of large mammals in the snow, including bear paws near the feeding area located in the vicinity of Lake Biograd, announced the National Parks of Montenegro (NPCG).
"This is evidenced by numerous tracks in the snow, as well as photos from photo traps that were set up in the previous period for the purpose of studying the brown bear, a protected animal species, and in cooperation with the NGO "Parkovi Dinarida". During the winter, the supervisors of NP Biogradska gora did not notice any signs the presence of bears," the NPCG press release states.
Judging by the size of the paw print, it is a large specimen of a bear, according to the NP Biogradska gora.
The protection service continuously monitors the events in the area of Biogradska Gota when it comes to the occurrences and activities of animals and informs the professional services of NPCG about this.
The supervisors regularly visit the feeding areas and, if necessary, supplement them with mineral salt and baled hay in order to feed the large mammals.
"The bear is a characteristic animal species of Biogradska gora NP. We remind you that at the end of the year, the "Educational corner of Biogradska gora National Park" was opened in Kolašin in the premises of the administration building. The opening of the corner was realized as part of the project "Bear observation in Biogradska gora NP" which Parkovi Dinarida started in 2016 with the aim of monitoring the population of bears and other wildlife in the area of this park", concludes the NPCG announcement.
