Description
In Toyama Prefecture, a woman in her 40s was injured in a bear attack, and footprints near the scene indicate the attacking animal is believed to be the one that was culled. The culled bear weighed about 85 kg and was not emaciated; it is thought to have moved down the Jintsu River into residential areas, prompting the prefecture to issue an Asiatic black bear warning until May 31.
