Description
A camera set behind a residence in Tomamae captured a brown bear estimated at about 400 kg easily toppling a box trap weighing over 300 kg that local hunters had set. In Sapporo, Maruyama Zoo delayed the start of its winter operations by two days due to bear sightings; a 113 cm bear previously caught in a box trap was subsequently euthanized.
