Kostromika avoided meeting the bear at the last minute

A resident of the Kostroma region told about an unexpected meeting with a young bear in the Nei district, near the village of Lipovka. The incident occurred in September when a woman was walking along a forest.

At one point, about ten meters from her, a beast quickly ran across the street. According to an eyewitness, the bear was about two or three years old.

The woman recalls that for a moment she lost the sense of time: she managed to look at the animal well, and then, frightened, even ran in his direction. However, she soon managed to pull herself together.

Kostromichka believes that she was literally a second away from a possible collision. If she hadn't stopped and been distracted by the mushrooms, the encounter with the bear could have ended much more dangerously.

Local residents have previously noticed signs of the presence of a predator in the vicinity: claw marks remained on the trees, anthills and wasp nests were dug.
