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:

    bears are such cool animals, seemingly so clumsy but so powerful

    It's a great card and I note a Slania design. What a great collection of cards you must have. Thank you for participating.

    A beautiful card and stamp but I'd prefer to keep my distance from the real thing.
