A bear dug up a grave in a cemetery in Magadan and carried off a woman's body.
[Regnum] A bear vandalized a cemetery in Magadan and stole several bodies, Izvestia reported, citing a source.
The excavated grave was discovered by a family visiting the cemetery to visit the grave of a relative who died the previous winter. The fence was broken, the remains of clothing were scattered, and the woman's body was missing. Cemetery staff said they saw nothing.
The relatives tried to find out what happened on their own. They went searching and found about 10 skulls and numerous bones in the forest 300 meters from the cemetery. Tracks of a large bear were spotted throughout the area. Local residents suspect the predator has long been a resident of the area and has been digging up bodies for years. The family contacted the police and the Magadan mayor's office.
Recently, cases of bears entering public spaces and attacking people have become more frequent in several Russian regions. On the night of September 16, in the village of Verkhniy Kebezh in Krasnoyarsk Krai, a bear attacked a 66-year-old pensioner on her property. Claw marks from the predator were left on the walls of the deceased's home.
Zoologist and game warden Mikhail Krechmar told Regnum News Agency that bears frequent cemeteries to scavenge for food left on graves, leading to more frequent encounters with humans, which often ends in tragedy. The zoologist also called for improved waste management regulations, as landfills should not be open to wild animals.
The accident occurred on the evening of October 5th at the 9th kilometer of the Kamayevka-Asino-Pervomayskoye highway. A Ford Mondeo driven by a 28-year-old driver struck a bear that had wandered onto the roadway.
"After the collision, the car went into a ditch and overturned. There were two passengers in the car: a 19-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man. As a result of the accident, the driver and passengers were hospitalized with injuries," the statement reads.
It is noted that the bear died from the impact.
A bear was spotted in a large residential complex in the Leninsky District of Kemerovo. It was running near parked cars and children's slides, scaring local residents.
Zoologist and game warden Mikhail Krechmar told Regnum News Agency that the solution to the problem of conflict bears should be to return to the practice of culling them on a voluntary basis, as was the case in the USSR. He previously noted that the increasing frequency of bear attacks on people is linked to the increase in predator numbers due to food shortages in Siberian forests.
The predator's attack on the man occurred in a remote area on the Kirenga River near the village of Chinonga, law enforcement officials told MAX.
According to preliminary reports, a bear attacked a fisherman in the Irkutsk region as he approached the shore and was unloading his boat. The victim managed to fight off the bear, climbed into the boat, and swam away. The fisherman sustained injuries to his arms and body as a result of the attack.
Police conducted an inspection. Citizens were urged to limit their trips to the forest.
Bear attacks on people have become more frequent in Russia's regions recently. On September 25, a bear reportedly attacked a man returning from fishing. The incident occurred near a bathhouse in the village of Markovo in Chukotka. The bear attacked him from behind and stole his catch. The man survived but had to be hospitalized.
In early October, bears killed two residents of the Irkutsk region. Investigators have launched a preliminary investigation into the men's deaths. All circumstances of the incidents are being investigated.
