The second brown bear trapped by the GLOBE team this autumn in the Bieszczady Mountains on the night of November 8/9th. It was a healthy subadult male, weighed 135 kg and he was named Djuro. He, as well as the other bears capturted within GLOBE project, was equipped with a GPS-GSM collar.
From the first data on Djuro’s locations we know that two days after the capture he visited already three countries: Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia! It took him only 3 hours to cross two borders across the mountains. This highlights the transboundary character of the brown bear population in the Northern Carpathians.
