Official Black Bear Kazuno Towada-Kemanai, Akita May 8, 2026, 12:15 AM

Description

[Report] While two of us were checking a fallen tree, we found a lot of large scat that was not yet dry. When I stood up after taking photos, I smelled a strong animal odor. Looking around, I noticed a warm, animal-like breath coming from somewhere, so we ran away. About 15 m from a house.
