On the 9th, a bear appeared in a residential area of ​​Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture. The bear, a male adult weighing approximately 100 kg, was captured about 2 km in a straight line from JR Utsunomiya Station. It is unclear whether this is the same bear, but there have been numerous bear sightings in various locations throughout the city from the 6th to the 9th of this month, including in the shopping district near Tobu Utsunomiya Station. According to the police, no new sightings have been reported since the capture, but Utsunomiya City has kept all 94 municipal elementary and junior high schools closed since the 8th, stating that the possibility of another bear appearing cannot be ruled out. Why did a bear appear in an urban area? What are the conditions for bears to appear in urban areas? We interviewed experts, including Professor Toru Oi, a specially appointed professor at Ishikawa Prefectural University, who is knowledgeable about bear ecology. ▼MBS NEWS DIG https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/list/mbs ▼Daily delivery of the latest news and features.
