This is an indoor photograph showcasing a taxidermied Syrian brown bear, positioned vertically as if standing or climbing, with its head turned towards the viewer and mouth slightly agape, revealing teeth. The bear has light brown to tan fur, dark eyes, and a dark nose. Its claws are visible on one of its raised paws. The scene appears to be a museum or exhibition in Tel-Aviv, Israel, given the associated display and multilingual text. The bear is mounted against a plain, light gray wall, suggesting a curated display environment. To the right of the bear's lower body, a display plaque is visible, featuring an embossed bear paw print illustration and text in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. The English text identifies the animal as a "Brown bear" and specifically mentions "Syrian Brown bear." It describes that "Bears were common in the Hermon and Upper Galilee, Lebanon and east of the Jordan River" but were driven "to extinction in the early 20th century" due to "hunting and widespread logging of the forests." It further states that "the last bear was the Hermon in 1917." Similar information is presented in Hebrew and Arabic on the same plaque. The lighting is even, suggesting artificial indoor lighting.
