Biologist estimated the version of the attack of bears on the Usoltsev

The Usoltsev family, which went missing in the Krasnoyarsk Krai taiga in September 2025, was unlikely to become a victim of bears, as these animals usually avoid groups of people. This was stated in an interview with aif.ru biologist Dmitry Safonov.

According to Safonov, in the version with the attack of bears on the family there are many contradictions. For example, in September last year, according to him, predators were inactive and preparing for winter hibernation. In addition, traces of the attack of bears in the places of disappearance of the family were not found.

“Now, yes, bears are active, there was a cold summer that caused them to not gain enough calories, now they are forced to actively seek food before hibernation.” But this is this year, and the family disappeared a year ago, the biologist explained.

In addition, says Safonov, bears are afraid of groups of people, so would not attack the whole family.

Earlier, a friend of the Usoltsevs Valentin Degtyarev told about traces of blood in the taiga at the site of the disappearance of the family.
