Himalayan bear (black, with a white chest, Ussurian, Tibetan) is smaller, then a brown bear in its sizes. Weight 120 - 160 (max. 220) kg. Color is black with a white spot on his chest. The animal inhabits in the cedar-broad-leaf forests in the Southern part of the Khabarovsk Krai.
The seasonal migrations from the areas of winter hibernation into the deciduous forests of the Sikhote-Alin mountain ridge eastern slope and back are characteristic for the white-chest bear, inhabiting in this region. Usually the animals make their way by same routes. The places of winter hibernation are concentrated in areas with watersheds in the center.
The population density of the Himalayan bear makes 7-10 individuals per 100 sq. km, but the economic development of the territory gradually supersedes the bear in the worse places. The animal feeds almost with the vegetative food - nuts, acorns and berries. It climbs on trees perfectly. Himalayan bear gets in hibernation in hollows of large trees. While meeting with people it goes away. The cases of aggressive behavior are very rear.
The rather low rates of the Himalayan bear reproduction (female-bear brings its first posterity only on the third-fourth year of its life, no more than 35 % of the female-bears are taking part in the reproduction annually) results to the fast decreasing of their population, especially in the cases of the professional hunting. The forest fires, mass woodcutting and poaching are also lead to the reducing of the Himalayan bear population. Hunting the Himalayan bear is forbidden since 1977.
