Description
Claw marks and droppings were found on a persimmon tree in the Kanazawa settlement (Yamaguchi Garden). Later, security camera footage confirmed a bear climbing the tree between about 20:00 and 23:00 on November 25. The bear is estimated to be 1.2 m in body length and appears to be a single individual. (The Yamaguchi Garden at the sighting location is closed for the winter.)
