Description
While driving, about 480 m of soba fields lined up along the road; 10 bears in total were spotted across four fields. Each site was 150–180 m apart, with counts of 1, 3, 1, and 5 bears. When cars passed nearby, bears moved into the brush. Sizes ranged from large to small, with about two likely adults (adult bears).
