Swedish Brown Bear



This postcard shows a Swedish stamp with a picture of a Swedish brown bear (Ursus arctos). The stamp was issued 11 April, 1978.

This is one of my favorite Swedish stamp postcards. I have been waiting for an appropriate theme to post it on Sunday Stamps.

You can get a closeup view of some real Swedish bears in this video:
