The bears deployed a collar

The visors were to be uncovered only for a short time
« At the time of the capture, the visors were darkened all the time with protective covers. However, during the actual sleep of the individual it is necessary to uncover these visions for a short time. The individual instinctively attacked the area where the light of the vision fell, injuring his claws and even small surface injuries of the bottom of the papule, » the conservationists said.
The injuries were treated by the present veterinarian during the measurement of biometric data.
« The State Nature Conservation of the Slovak Republic assures the public that there was no serious damage to the brown bear health throughout the process of capturing.
