Giant brown bear spotted near Chita

A huge brown bear was spotted near Chita on the Karpovsky rapids. A video of the predator appeared in the Telegram chat "Volunteers of Transbaikalia". Zabaikalians planning a trip to the Karpov rapids were urged to be extremely careful.

ChitaMedia news agency writes that residents of the village had previously noticed traces of a bear and a baby bear near the village of Novokruchininsky in the Chita region.

The regional Ministry of Nature does not exclude that animals may leave the forest due to forest fires. If a meeting with them is unavoidable, it is necessary to follow the safety rules. It is not recommended to photograph animals, take videos with them, or harass them. It is forbidden to pet, contact, feed, drive away or crush with the help of transport.

On May 22, it was reported that three bears had been spotted in Transbaikalia near the villages of the Uletovsky district over the past two days. Forest fires force predators to leave their habitual habitats and go out to populated areas.
