Description
Post: In a rice field at Matsukura, Kosaka-cho (Matsukura Exit 29), there was a mother bear about 1.2 m long and two cubs about 50 cm and 40 cm long. The mother waited on the embankment beside the field; when the cubs came out, they went together into the brush on the east bank of the Sunagozawa River. The cubs differed in size. About 300 meters to the Sunagozawa Water Treatment Plant in Kosaka.
