Sources in Wild Animal Protection Project in Syria explained that the bear entered the extinction phase, and decreased in numbers due to environmental degradation to his whereabouts, in addition to over fishing. Generally found in the mountainous areas throughout its home range, the Syrian brown bears seem to den and hibernate in caves and tree hollows of the birch forests, which are found at higher elevations than pine and other trees. Outside of hibernation these bears tend to forage for food in grasslands, meadows, forests and have been known to enter mountain villages to feed on grains and nuts sources : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_brown_bear http://www.startimes.com/f.aspx?t=34367033 http://www.alittihad.ae/details.php?id=81047&y=2010
