Official Black Bear Tokamachi 奈良立, Niigata Jun 9, 2023, 03:00 PM

Description

A resident sighted one bear in their home’s yard. Its body length was about 0.5–1.0 m. Startled by the resident, the bear backed up and fell into the Shibumi River behind the house. The bear’s destination is unknown. It is highly likely that it returned toward the Mizunashi/Kurokura area, which is bear habitat.
