Snowy Bears
<p>Her two cubs in tow, a Himalayan brown bear <em>Ursus arctos isabellinus</em> walking through the snows of Ladakh throws a glance at the photographer. These large animals are omnivores, and eat a range of foods including animals, berries and plants. With increasing frequency, they can also be seen scavenging on garbage dumps on the outskirts of villages, which puts both bears and humans at risk.</p>
