SEBASTIAN BEAR FATTENS UP FOR WINTER

Unlike the tropical sloth bear we talk about often, Himalayan brown bears live in areas with a temperate climate and hibernate during winter months when food is scarce. Gorgeous Sebastian (above) lives at our Dachigam Rescue Centre in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), where the high elevations and brisk weather are better suited for him. J&K is in the far northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent in the foothills of Himalayan mountains.
