“Further monitoring is expected to be continued,” according to the park’s press service.
The Himalayan brown bear, whose population is reducing every year, inhabits the Tien Shan Mountains and the Dzungarian Alatau mountain range.
Earlier in April, a Turkistan lynx was caught on camera at the same location.
