It is not uncommon for male bears to attack females with young during the mating season.
Spanish rangers found alive the injured female bear and her teddy bear, deep in their nest, after the mother’s impressive fall from a vertical rock, where she was fighting to save her little one from a male.
The footage from the battle of the mother bear with the big male on the edge of a steep slope was taken on Monday by two walkers. The two bears fell from a great height on the rocks below. The male collapsed and remained motionless, dead. The disoriented female got up and left limping, looking for her little one.
Beware of hard images:
After searching for her for two days in the mountains of northern Castile-Leon, near Palencia, the rangers found her nest, 15 meters deep. Using a special camera and telescopic poles, they left fruit and water for the mother and the teddy bear.

About 400 brown bears live in the Spanish mountains, 70 of them in the Pyrenees.
