Day 118 of My Italian Learning Journal*
_____________________
On my visits to Italy I have seen both the eastern and western coastal cities, and of course Rome. There are so many attactions to which tourists are drawn. What did not occur to me was existence in Italy of the parks and animals that live in the wild. In North America there are many species of bears, among them is one of the largest bears on Earth, the Kodiak, with the polar bear being the largest. I had never heard of the Marsican Bear, until today. I learned about Italy's Abruzzo National Park, and efforts to protect the Marsican Brown Bear. Some observations estimate that there are 40 to 60 Marsican Bears in the Park and the surrounding areas. To view the Abruzzo National Park website Click Here.

Hello, Mik. I understand the correction. I hope it is obvious that my posts about Italy are more for my own education than they are for native Italians. Grazie mille. ~Ted
