Black Bear incident in Kazuno 蟹沢 (Oct 17)
Kazuno 蟹沢, Akita
Location
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.
