I don't think those are ordinary bears. I think they are Grizzlies.

:D Those are ordinary ! They live in Romania's mountains and they are called "Brown Bears".

Brown bear = grizzly bear

Nice shot, hollow ... but about the ground level perspective - I assume they have some kind of hole in the fence for taking photos? Or was it just you, your A95 and some pepper spray :)

@VesselinG

I'm living in Bucharest but those photos were taken at Calarasi Zoo ( Calarasi is pretty close to Bulgaria ;) )

@HJMinnard

Hmmm...no, not a hole. The fence was made from vertical steel bars with about 4-5 centimeters gap between them.
So I get close, I've push my objective trough those bars and take the pic.

Of course, finally those two bears became a little nervous and came close to the fence so I had to run ! :lol:
