The footage was released by a film production company, who say it is likely the bear had spent winter in O Invernadeiro national park.
A brown bear has been spotted in the northwest of Spain for what is thought to be the first time in 150 years.
The bear wandered past camera traps set up by a film crew, local reports say.
The crew of Montaña ou Morte (Mountain or Death) released footage of the bear grazing and rubbing itself again tree trunks in O Invernadeiro national park in Galicia, an autonomous community in northwest Spain, last week.
« The specimen, a male between 3 and 5 years old, is the first to be filmed in the area and probably the first to pass through this region in the last 150 years, » Zeitun Films said in an accompanying statement.
According to Zeitun Films, the park’s environmental agents have said the bear almost certainly spent the winter in O Invernadeiro and likely arrived from the Sierra de O Courel Mountains, a region north of the park.
