Description
On November 3 in Shintoku Town, a roughly one-meter bear was seen at a ranch and moved along the Penke Otasoi River, crossing the town toward the Kamisahoro mountains. Sightings near the river and tracks prompted temporary suspension of local JR trains and police warnings; officers tracked and warned residents and the bear disappeared into the mountains at 15:15.
