‘Extremely intelligent’ bear in Japan evades capture after hurting 4 people
The Straits Times
|June 06, 2026
An “extremely intelligent” bear that injured four people in northern Japan remains at large as at June 5, after apparently unlatching a window while evading capture and turning on a water tap, officials said.
-
A record 13 people were killed by bears in Japan in 2025 and there has been a jump in sightings as they emerge hungry from hibernation.
After attacking four people at two factories in Fukushima on June 2, the bear took shelter inside one of the buildings, local media reported.
It dodged capture despite efforts by hunters and responders equipped with traps and anaesthetic guns, and escaped on June 3.
