Cabarceno National Park, is a zoo that is interesting for two reasons. It is visited by car, but this is not a safari park like in Africa or the German Serengeti park . Due to the size of the park, you have to move between the locations by car, and then visit the animals on foot. And the second interesting point is the territory with bears. It is the largest in the park and occupies 33 hectares. When we saw this place from afar, we decided that we see just bushes.

But when we realized that all these "bushed" are actually bears, we were shoked. Before we have already seen many bears in one place, for example, in Romania . Though here their number is simply huge, probably not less than a hundred.

Moreover, they all came to the gate, probably for lunch. At other times, they scatter throughout the territory.

It is curious that the biggest bears are sitting closest to the gate, next the middle ones, and the smallest are running around.

If a bear tries to break the hierarchy, there will be a fight.

Mothers with children are always kept aside.

In addition to bears, there are many other animals here, but their enclosures are standard and not as interesting as bears.
