Description

[Post] While riding a bicycle, spotted about 100 m ahead on the riverbank. The bear moved through the rice fields, glancing around. It disappeared into a nearby field, then slowly appeared on the road in front of me. It advanced toward me, stopping about 5 m ahead and staring for about 20 seconds. It then crossed the bridge and ran east through the fields toward the hospital.
