Which is the biggest land animal in your country?

Brown Bear

 In Greece, bears, which are estimated at around 250, live in the most

remote areas of Pindus and Rhodope mountain ranges and they are the biggest land animals. The bear has no natural enemies, except for the humans and their illegal or strenuous activities. It has a full-bodied physique, triangular head, round ears and small eyes. The destruction of its habitat and the hunting (which was banned only two decades ago), are the main causes of its gradual disappearance from most of the countries. Today it lives in small, detached populations and is in danger of extinction. The bear’s population in Greece is one of the largest in the European Union. The bear is the largest terrestrial (land), suckling animal (mammal) in Europe. It usually lives about 20 to 25 years. It lives in mountainous and forested areas and it is an omnivorous animal, with particular preference in plant foods and especially in honey.
