message: The lead (and distribution map) say that U. a. syriacus occurrs in the Caucasus. Yet, under evolutionary history, it says that alls brown bears in the Caucasus are U. a. arctos. Isn't that a contradiction? Or am I reading the statement re U. a. arctos wrong? Either way, I think some clarification is needed. Robuer (talk) 13:00, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Coming from the perspective of a cat-fan, as you may see from my username, I know that certain animals that were regarded as subspecies may now be regarded as populations of subspecies, such as the Asiatic lion (formerly Panthera leo persica) now being regarded as a population of the subspecies Panthera leo leo, and the closely related Caspian and Siberian tigers (formerly Panthera tigris virgata and Panthera tigris altaica, respectively) as populations of the subspecies Panthera tigris tigris), but I do not have a reference for Ursus arctos syriacus being reclassified as a population of the subspecies Ursus arctos arctos.

message: Today, the brown bear's region has leopards and wolves, and a leopard had killed two small bears in the Caucusus, in 1931.Mammals of the Soviet Union Vol.II Part 1a, SIRENIA AND CARNIVORA (Sea cows; Wolves and Bears), V.G Heptner and N.P Naumov editors, Science Publishers, Inc. USA. 1998.  Previously, the bear had also been sympatric with the Asiatic lion and Caspian tiger,Masseti, M. (2009). Carnivores of Syria In: E. Neubert, Z. Amr, S. Taiti, B. Gümüs (eds.)

In particular, the Amur tiger (which is closely related to the Caspian tiger) preys on the Ussuri brown bear. Leo1pard (talk) 07:46, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

message: 'Syria' may refer to two places:
1) The modern country, which is called Sūriyā ().
2) A broader, historical region, which is called Ash-Shām (), and includes the modern countries of Syria and Lebanon.Article "AL-SHĀM" by C.E. Bosworth, Encyclopaedia of Islam, Volume 9 (1997), page 261.
Both places are applicable to this bear, due to where it is recorded to have occurred.Masseti, M. (2009). Carnivores of Syria In: E. Neubert, Z. Amr, S. Taiti, B. Gümüs (eds.)
