Official Black Bear Katagami Showa-Toyokawakamiabukawa, Akita Oct 5, 2025, 10:30 AM

Description

[Post] This is another person's sighting, so details are unknown. I spotted one bear as I drove by. It reportedly fled into nearby brush immediately after the sighting. It was described as cub-sized and may be a bear that has just separated from its mother. Because I was doing field work in the area, after the bear had fled I asked that person about the sighting. We worked for about 30 minutes, making noise, but no bear appeared during the work, and we were able to retreat safely.
