In Saeki Ward, Hiroshima City, between about 6:00 a.m. on the 13th and for roughly 10 minutes, there were three consecutive reports: “I saw a bear while walking my dog,” “I saw a bear about 1 meter (3 feet) tall,” and “There was a bear in my yard.”

It was a cub about 1 meter long. It immediately went off to the left and disappeared from view. I turned back.

Arrived at the Kariba Yama trailhead on the access road just below the lighthouse. Fresh scat observed and bear was heard further up the road approximately 50 metres away. Exited the area immediately.

It was a relatively small bear. It was eating grass about 15 meters up the mountain from the trail.

Could this sighting be a serow?

Could this sighting be a serow?

Isn’t this image a serow rather than a bear? https://kumamap.com/ja/sightings/754a7c84647f8d2a

Observed in a thicket while I was eating. Smaller, about 1 meter, but it looked heavier than that.

Adult with baby. Location is not completely accurate but the bears were just near the main tourist walking trail.

It was about one meter in length. It didn’t move from the spot—perhaps it was eating something—so I took several photos from inside my car. It was in a stream-like area about 25 meters back from the road.
