Description

Print of a beautiful vintage postage stamp from Finland depicting the brown bear native to those northern climes in a vaguely art deco style.
The Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is one of the most common subspecies of the brown bear. Also known as the common brown bear, European brown bear, European bear and colloquially by many other names, over 2000 bears currently roam wild in Sweden, another 1200 in Finland, and around 70 in Norway, as well as significant populations across other north European countries and Russia. It is Finland's national animal.
Should this particular bear be feeling a bit peckish, his well-known favourite snack of wild berries are close at hand at the bottom of the image. But in fact bears are omnivorous and will eat almost anything.
