Thanks Bwana,

from what we hear about our European bears, in the south they eat sheep, raid bee hives, and devour Romanians on occasion (they got most, around 7000 brown bears in the Carpatian mountains). In Sweden they seem to prefer moose hunters and berry pickers... . Swedish forrest service did an areal photo shoot in Lapland recently. Upon checking the pictures they found out that 5 female berry pickers were surrounded by 25 bears. Those, who could be identified later, had no idea about that at the time and one of them fainted when told about it.
