Description
On the way from the supermarket in Yajima Town toward the Chokai Green Line, I spotted a bear on the right side of the road. I stopped the car about 20 meters away and observed it; it entered the sunflower field below and then ran off toward the river. Its body length was just under 1 meter, and its behavior looked like that of a cub.
