Brown Bear

Ursus arctos

RECORD-HOLDER: The brown bear is the largest carnivore not only in Slovenia but in all of Europe. They can weigh up to 450 kg. Brown bears are the largest carnivores in Slovenia and Europe, and — right behind their cousin the polar bear — the second-largest land predators in the world. With their powerful jaws and paws, they are instantly recognisable as dangerous predators, but their teeth and digestive system reveal that bears are omnivores, just like humans.
