Tibetan Brown Bear

This rare bear is very different from the more commonly found Himalayan black bear in terms of its appearance, habitat, and behaviour.

A rare Tibetan brown bear species has been found roaming in the high-altitude areas of North Sikkim, officials of the state's Forest and Wildlife Department said on Sunday.

Legend-slaying scientists on Wednesday dismantled the myth of the abominable snowman, the towering yet furtive half-human rumoured for centuries to inhabit inaccessible reaches of the Himalayas.
