Cameras set up by a film crew in a natural park in northwestern Spain captured images of a brown bear for what they say is the first time in 150 years. The bear was caught on film released Friday in the Natural Park O Invernadeiro, in Ourense, Galicia, by cameras set up two years ago to record wildlife for a project called “Montaña ou Morte,” produced by Felipe Lage and directed by Pela del Alamo, according to a statement from production company Zeitun Films.
