Official 2 Black Bears Kazuno 倉沢, Akita Oct 23, 2024, 10:30 PM

Description

On a prefectural road, two bears were seen: one about 1 m long and another about 0.5 m. While driving east about 50 m from a house, a bear sprang onto the road; avoiding it, another 0.5 m bear appeared, and the bear collided with the car. The 1 m bear fled to the north forest, the 0.5 m bear to the south forest. The observer was about 2 m away. Bears may roam nearby or enter sheds; residents should be vigilant.
