Japan recorded its highest number of bear attacks ever in 2020, with experts warning attacks could become more frequent still.

At least two people have been killed and more than 140 injured in Japan in the last six months as the number of bear sightings in populated areas has reached a five-year high and the country is facing its worst year ever for attacks. Experts warn that with increased rural depopulation, bear attacks could become more frequent still.

Gunshots rang out on October 19 at a large shopping mall in Kaga, a city of 65,000 inhabitants on the Sea of Japan’s coast. Shortly afterwards, the body of a large adult bear was carried out of the building, 13 hours after it wandered into the complex and caused panic among local residents.

The incident came only days after two people died in separate bear attacks, both in populated areas.

According to Japan’s ministry of environment, more than 140 people have been injured since April as the country’s number of bear sightings reached a five-year high.

The sharp increase this year is partly attributed to a shortage of acorns...
 
The US Nuclear agency was hacked. Russia now knows how many of our nukes are usless which is quite a large number. Should we have a war Russia will be able to change attack orders and steer nuclear weapons wide of target as American cities are hit direct time after time. Who gave away all America's secretes? Who left America weaker than ever before?-- Donald Trump. Thank's man.

I was surprised in the deep deep snow here to see a little green guy running around. This one was different. I am used to seeing the Robin Hoods who try and get a knee up and lay a ladder up on my house and peer in my window as I sit here... but this one was different-- this one I could tell was Asian, possibly Chinese...
