Official Black Bear Kazuno, Akita Aug 9, 2024, 06:00 PM

Description

Along a prefectural road through a state-owned forest; bear about 1.2 m long; 50 m to the nearest parking lot. A large bear over 100 kg suddenly appeared from the roadside and walked on the road. I had heard bear sightings were common, but I was surprised.
