Official Black Bear Semboku Kakunodatemachi-Yamayakawasaki, Akita Aug 18, 2025, 09:30 AM

Description

[Post] While driving on Route 250, looked at my own rice fields and spotted a bear about 60–70 cm long. It was perched on the embankment, scratching and eating the still-green rice. Likely the same individual seen yesterday about four fields away across the road. Startled by the car horn, it fled to the western mountains.
