Gobi bear
The Gobi bear {Ursus arctos gobiensis}, known in Mongolian as the Mazaalai {Мазаалай}, is a subspecies of the brown bear {Ursus arctos} that is found in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. It is listed as critically endangered by the Mongolian Redbook of Endangered Species and by IUCN standards.[2] Recent surveys by Chinese team docum#ented 51 bea#rs in 2022, which is a high increase comparing with the previous estimate of 31 bears in 2017. Gobi bears are separated by enough distance from other brown bear populations to achieve reproductive isolation. In 1959, hunting of the animal was prohibited in order to preserve the dying subspecies.[3]
