[edit] Binomial nomenclature
What is this subspecies' binomial name? Ursus arctos... what? All "subspecies" need a third name (for example Ursus arctos horribilis for the grizzly bear) Dark hyena (talk) 14:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
As it says in the text, for the moment it is not perceived as a subspecies. Although it was previously classified as Ursus arctos pyrenaicus, it is now classed as Ursus arctos - one of the eight presently recognised species in the Ursidae family. Liordes (talk) 10:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
So it is nothing but a regular Eurasian Brown Bear then? Dark hyena (talk) 13:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted text
Have deleted the following text as it would seem to be irrelevant to the article:
In bear country, it is essential to understand that one is in their territory, not likewise; and when in such climes, it's very important to act as unobtrusively as possible. Those tempted to poach can always go to places such as Scandinavia, Russia, the Balkans. Poachers also have the chance to hunt legal brown bear in Canada or Alaska, U.S.A. Black Bear hunting is permitted in most U.S. states, although with a license. Hunting an endangered bear which is on the verge of extinction is, in some circles, thought of as cowardly.
