Denning of Brown Bears in Croatia
Bears: Their Biology and Management, 1997 Twentyeight dens of 15 different European brown bears (Ursus arctos) were located, monitored and measured. Ten of them were used by females with cubs, 9 by females without cubs, 5 by males, and 4 by bears of unknown category. Occasionally bears used more than one den in the same winter, i.e. 4 bears used 2 to 5 dens (mean = 3).
