Bear spotted near the airport in the Khabarovsk Territory

In the Khabarovsk Territory, the bear was spotted near Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, near the airport. Local authorities warned residents of the danger of encountering the predator and urged caution.

According to the district administration, the animal was found about two kilometers from the airport. Presumably, the bear did not have time to lie down in winter hibernation or woke up prematurely.

The first message about the appearance of a predator was received by the Unified Dispatch Service at the beginning of the week. Eyewitnesses also posted online videos of the animal and photos of its tracks. The information was transferred to the hunting department of the region and the district police department.

The authorities recommended temporarily abandoning walks in the forest and hikes to rivers in a dangerous area. Warning signs were installed at the “Sergeevka” stop and near the bridge over the Licha River.
