14 SEPTEMBER: LJUBLJANA, SLOVENIA – A brown bear cub stares at his mother in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Over 400 Dinaric Brown bears live in the forests of the Notranjska and Kocevska, only 30km from the 280,000 people who inhabit the Slovenian capital city of Ljubljana. This breed of bear has been used to repopulate areas of Italy and Spain, after they became extinct and whilst Italy has recently experienced bear attacks, in Slovenia they are rare.
