Description
Posted: While descending Yokone Pass toward Houtai, observed a medium-sized (A) and a small (B) individual in the road center. After stopping the car, they walked into the left hillside woodland. A: height about 90 cm, length about 120 cm. B: height about 50 cm, length about 80 cm. Based on the situation, likely a parent and child, but details are unclear since sizes are similar. In terms of build, believed to be a moon bear (Asian black bear).
