At around 11:10 on December 31, a woman in her 70s on a bus reported seeing two large black animals (about 1.5 m each) eating grass in a grassland in Makomanai Minamimachi 6-chome, Minami Ward, Sapporo, and called 110. Police responded but found no trace of the animals; because the site is about 150 meters from nearby homes, police urged caution and increased patrols.
