In a remarkable discovery, a rare Tibetan brown bear has been spotted in India for the first time. Camera traps installed by the Sikkim Forest Department and WWF-India recorded this rare species in the high altitudes of North Sikkim.

Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan, who regularly shares interesting facts about wildlife, posted two pictures of the bear on his social media account.
According to PTI, this rare bear is very different from the more commonly found Himalayan black bear in terms of its appearance, habitat, and behaviour, the officials said.
The omnivore lives in high-altitude alpine forests, meadows, and steppe above 4000 m and feeds on marmots and alpine vegetation.
The Tibetan brown bear, also known as the Tibetan blue bear, is one of the rarest subspecies of bears in the world and is rarely sighted in the wild.
