Description
On private property: one bear about 1 m long. As the resident was about to leave the house, noticed a bear in the adjacent field. The bear moved along the narrow path between houses, sat in a small garden (about 2 m²) in front of a neighbor’s entrance and began eating watermelons. It ate for about an hour and then went into the woods. Damages: 4 watermelons. Witness about 10 m away.
