Wildlife officials say the phenomenon indicates favorable environmental conditions for these majestic creatures within the natural landscapes of Mazandaran province.
Numerous images of brown bears in the Hyrcanian forests have garnered attention online, as they continue to be shared widely on social media.
Although conservationists had warned their population was dwindling, a surge in documented sightings of brown bears in the northern forests has raised hopes for the successful preservation of the herbivorous mammal.
These sightings serve as a testament to the conservation efforts and ecological balance in the region, encouraging further initiatives to preserve the unique biodiversity of Mazandaran's forests.
The brown bear has been the subject of extensive conservation and research efforts across Europe, Asia, and North America.
However, limited research has been conducted on the species in the Caucasus and Middle East regions, where their population is significantly lower compared to other habitats.
