This photograph taken on October 16, 2017, shows a sign – discouraging the feeding of bears – at a shelter for brown bears in the village of Kuterevo Orphaned, abandoned or abused: Croatia' s brown bears that are unable to live in the wild are finding a new home in the country' s only sanctuary for the furry natives. Up to 1,000 bears are estimated to live in the southeastern European country, particularly in the central forested areas of Gorski Kotar and Lika. Although they are a protected species, Croatian authorities allow the hunting of around 100 bears each year. (Photo by AFP Photo/Stringer)
