Binomial nomenclature
What is this subspecies' binomial name? Ursus arctos... what? All "subspecies" need a third name (for example Ursus arctos horribilis for the grizzly bear) Dark hyena (talk) 14:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

As it says in the text, for the moment it is not perceived as a subspecies. Although it was previously classified as Ursus arctos pyrenaicus, it is now classed as Ursus arctos - one of the eight presently recognised species in the Ursidae family. Liordes (talk) 10:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

So it is nothing but a regular Eurasian Brown Bear then? Dark hyena (talk) 13:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleted text
Have deleted the following text as it would seem to be irrelevant to the article: In bear country, it is essential to understand that one is in their territory, not likewise; and when in such climes, it's very important to act as unobtrusively as possible. Those tempted to poach can always go to places such as Scandinavia, Russia, the Balkans. Poachers also have the chance to hunt legal brown bear in Canada or Alaska, U.S.A. Black Bear hunting is permitted in most U.S. states, although with a license. Hunting an endangered bear which is on the verge of extinction is, in some circles, thought of as cowardly. --Technopat (talk) 07:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Deleted good faith edit
The following unreferenced text has been deleted: In the last two decades, two male bears have crossed this gap from West to East. It were seen in 2005, brown bears near the portuguese border ( northwest near Galicia) which indicates that this specie might be more spread than previously thought. Very probably, now also lives in Portugal. This is due to the good efforts made by spanish conservationism, that allowed brown bears to live again on their ancient territories. If you can provide references, back it goes (with minor corrections). --Technopat (talk) 22:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi I read that on a forum about iberian wildlife. It was affirmed by a spanish scientist. I can search for the link again. Sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.174.37.220 (talk) 03:29, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Cantabrian brown bear
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Cantabrian brown bear's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "IUCN": From Himalayan brown bear:  From Marsican brown bear:  From Alaska Peninsula brown bear:  From Bear:  From Subspecies of brown bear:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:44, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Subspecies?
It cannot be a subspecies of a subspecies (Ursus arctos arctos). This makes no sense. --Polinizador (talk) 13:20, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
