Official Black Bear Semboku Kakunodatemachi-Yamayakawasaki, Akita Sep 17, 2025, 03:45 PM

Description

Post: While checking flood damage, I went to look at the rice fields and found a bear about 1 m long that had knocked down the rice, entered the field about 10 m from the levee, and was rubbing and eating the rice. When it noticed us, it fled into the southern mountains. It did the same behavior as the bear photographed on Sept 5, but today's bear looked bigger.
