Description
Saw a 60 cm cub at the top of the embankment in the Sunakosawa River bed near the upper irrigation headworks by Matsukura exit; it fled to the east into the woods. No mother observed, possibly due to thick brush. About 400 m from Sunakawa village houses; about 200 m from Kosaka Town Sunakosawa Water Plant. Reported to Kosaka Town Office, Agriculture/Forestry.
