Bear's adorable response!

The public's attention has recently been drawn to a visually captivating film from Sonamarg that shows a bear ambling over the snowstorm. The bear is shown in the video barking at some dogs, as if to frighten it, but the bear is not alarmed by their presence.

Sad to see dogs bothering it.Feral dogs are dangerous for wildlife.We need effective yet compassionate measures to control dog population.

The largest mammal in Kashmir, the Himalayan Brown Bear, is rarely sighted because it usually lives at an elevation of 2,000 to 2,500 meters, mostly above the tree line. These bears are critically endangered because of their declining numbers.
