The reason for the bear attack that has become "viral": It was against the baby

This protocol was already successfully applied in 2019 and 2020 with the

cubs Saba

and

Éndriga

, which, after passing through the semi-free acclimatization facilities that the Board has on the Valsemana farm (León), could be

reintroduced successfully in the Cantabrian Mountains.

The technicians of the Junta and the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León have been monitoring the cave since last Monday with

endoscopic cameras and poles

, being able to confirm then that the bear was alive, although the extent of the injuries is unknown due to the impossibility of access to the area, since the cave has a gallery length of more than 15 meters.

The

real-time vision cameras

installed at the entrance to the cavity have now made it possible to capture the cub's movements.
