Bear-watching in the Finnish forest

If you go down to the woods today, you might get a big surprise - if you’re in Finland that is. About 2,000 brown bears can be found freely roaming the taiga - or coniferous forest - which covers most of the country, the perfect place to see these majestic animals in their natural habitat. The brown bear is the largest predator in Europe and features prominently in Finnish mythology.
