Description
[Post] In a rice field at Kosaka Town, Aza Mukai 149, a mother bear about 1.2 m and a cub about 0.5 m were present; the mother was eating rice sprouts along the embankment. When honked, they fled to the eastern woodland. About 300 m to houses. About two hours later, around 18:00, sighted again in the neighboring 148 rice field. About 200 m south on the drainage bank, bear droppings with many rice grains were found.
