Bear attacks in Japan

 



There have been a record 193 bear attacks in Japan this year, six of them fatal. It's the highest number since counting began in 2006.

That is, in part, because it's been a lean year for bears. In the forests, a dry summer left fewer acorns and beech nuts — their main food — so hunger has made them bold.
