Description
In Kuroishi City, Aomori Prefecture, a female bear approximately 1 meter long and estimated to be 3–4 years old was captured in a box trap. The trap was set after pinpointing the bear's rough den location following repeated sightings; it may be the same individual that collided with a car, but authorities remain cautious in case it is a different bear.
