Be my guest. I can offer you a seemingly perfect habitat for snakes, but swarming with bears instead...

According to the estimates, some 1200 of them. (In contrast to only some 300 wolves, quite unbelievable...)

Great Mario! I can only echo the other posts - I also would consider myself extremely lucky to encounter those Zamenis situla.
But also your other finds were quite impressive - as far as I can tell, I would say that you made a good score here :)!

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.

The laughing smiley cause I say "I have to go back to croatia" all the time. ;)
I hope it will work next year. Big carnivores are very interesting and I talk a lot
with people who know the german wolfs quite well. But maybe this is the wrong place
to talk about mammals.
