Yes, according to the estimates of the experts for "big carnivores", some 1200 of them in Croatia. (And, may
I repeat, in contrast to only some 300 wolves. No idea why, but these are the available data, probably quite
serious.) So, why the smiley "laughing" you added?
In this remote place 600 m above Senj I've seen quite a lot of traces of "life with bears" (or in spite of them),
like an apple tree neatly wound with barbed wire (to no avail - the bear broke the branches), bones of two
eaten foals and one deer (all that within some 100 meters from the house), bear droppings some 2 meters
from our parked car... I could document all these (and more) with photos, but not in this thread.
