Official 3 Black Bears Kazuno 蟹沢, Akita Oct 17, 2025, 08:00 PM

Description

On a municipal road sidewalk, one bear about 1 m long and two bears about 0.7 m long were seen, about 5 m from a house. Because a neighbor's dog was making noise, I went outside to look and saw, by the light of a vending machine, three bears—likely a mother and two cubs—walking on the sidewalk. The distance to the observer was about 100 m.
