When bears attack in tourist areasーNHK WORLD-JAPAN NEWS #shorts
Japan is seeing a spike in bear sightings at tourist spots. A Spanish tourist was attacked by a bear and injured near a world heritage site in Gefue Prefecture. What can we do to protect ourselves? Keep updated on bear sighting information provided by authorities. Take bear spray or bells and travel in groups. If you inadvertently encounter a bear, do not turn your back and run away. That could make the bear aggressive. Slowly step backwards while facing the bear. If an attack is imminent, lie face down on the ground and cover your head. Stay safe.
