Do black bears live in Russian forests?

Yes, black bears are found in the Russian forests. They are the most common bear species in the country and are found in a variety of habitats, including taiga, mixed forests, and even some tundra regions.

Specifically, they are found in:

* Siberia: The vast Siberian taiga is home to a significant population of black bears.

* European Russia: Black bears are also present in western Russia, primarily in the forested regions.

* Far East: There are also populations of black bears in the Russian Far East, where they share habitats with brown bears.

While black bears are common in Russia, they are not the only bear species there. The iconic brown bear (also known as the Eurasian brown bear) is also widespread throughout Russia, particularly in Siberia.
