Hollow trees bears choose for sleep often among poplar, linden, cedar, ash and elm trees. Every year rouge bears are recorded. The dependence between altitude of lair entrance and type of the tree is determined. The highest altitude of entrance is typical for lairs set in poplars ( =11.1 м; <i>n</i>=20) and elm trees ( <i>=</i>9.7 м<i>; n=</i>12). Most of "possible" lairs were found in poplar ( входа =8.0 м; <i>n</i>=8) and elm trees ( входа=8.5 м; <i>n</i>=7). h h h h
