Official Black Bear Daisen Niiyaji, Akita Sep 7, 2025, 05:20 AM

Description

Posted: Saw a bear around 5 a.m. while walking. It was near a canal bridge, seemed to be heading toward Route 105. From about 100–200 m away I thought it was a large black dog, but with no owner in sight I concluded it was a bear. Sightings nearby at 8 a.m. the next day suggest it’s the same bear.
