Himalayan brown bear moves through drass terrain in ladakh

A Himalayan brown bear moves through the rugged mountain terrain of Dras, Ladakh, one of the key habitats for this rare subspecies.

Found in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Tibet, these bears survive in high-altitude regions with a lighter, reddish-brown coat that helps them blend into the rocky landscape. As omnivores, they feed on roots, berries, small mammals, and carrion.
