Description
[Report] A friend contacted me saying there appeared to be a bear on the riverbank behind my house. I looked from a second-floor window and saw a bear walking along the bank from downstream toward the iron bridge. When I shouted loudly, it hurriedly went down the embankment toward the river, and its whereabouts after that are unknown. There happened to be an angler under the iron bridge about 100 meters away; the police arrived, issued a warning, and the angler left. It was a large bear for an adult. It was within 10 meters of a house.
