Official Black Bear Kosaka, Akita Sep 17, 2023, 10:00 AM

Description

Around 10:00 AM, in windy rain but daylight, while driving from Konoguchi toward the mountain, a bear emerged from the hillside onto the road shoulder to look for food. When my car came within 7–8 m, it moved back into the mountain. It appeared to be a cub about 1 m with a good coat—likely a young bear; there was occasional traffic, which surprised me
