China News Service, November 12th. According to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on the 12th, since 2020, "bear-infested" incidents have occurred frequently in various parts of Japan. Stomach samples of two bears entering the city were taken, and it was found that most of their stomach contents were persimmons.
Data Map: Black Bear.
According to reports, on October 19, a black bear broke into a large shopping mall in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, causing the shopping mall to be closed for several hours. In the end, the police, with the cooperation of local hunters, expelled the black bear.
According to the report, afterwards, Professor Toru Oi, who is engaged in bear research at Ishikawa Prefectural University, and his team sampled the stomachs of this black bear and another black bear deported in Hakusan City in the county.
The results showed that most of the stomach contents of the two bears were persimmons, and there were also some fruits on the sidewalk trees.
Toru Oi believes that the results of this study can basically prove that the reason why bears frequent the urban area is likely to be attracted by the fruits of local trees.
Toru Oi also stated that "bear infestation" incidents may still occur frequently in November, and fruit picking and collection operations in relevant areas should be carried out as soon as possible.
