[Regnum] A bear killed a man who was picking cranberries in the Kamchatka tundra. A representative of the region's State Hunting Inspectorate reported this on September 29.

He noted that a group of people dropped off the deceased 10 km south of the village of Ustyevoye and left him there alone to pick berries.

"At 4 p.m., he called and said he'd collected a bucket of cranberries. A bear approached him and started eating the berries, and then the man stopped responding," a source told RIA Novosti.

He added that when the group returned to the site, they saw the bear, but the man was gone. As it later turned out, the predator had buried the body of its victim.

The aggressive animal was shot, and the body of the deceased was taken and delivered to Sobolevskaya Hospital.

Bear attacks on people have recently become more frequent in Russian regions. On September 25, in the village of Markovo in Chukotka, a bear attacked a man returning from fishing. It happened near the village bathhouse. The bear attacked him from behind and stole his catch. The victim survived but had to be hospitalized.

A young bear surprised residents of the Irkutsk region with acrobatics in a birch grove.
A bear climbed a birch tree near a highway in the Irkutsk region and began performing "tricks." Footage of the predator appeared online on September 29.



A couple was driving along a highway in the Irkutsk region. Suddenly, near the turnoff to the Teplye Ozera Ecopark, they spotted a young bear swinging from a tree and climbing from branch to branch.

"Maybe there's a lot of deforestation going on somewhere, or there was a flood somewhere, and they had to leave," suggested the video's author, Daria T.

Earlier, in Krasnoyarsk, Russia's longest 1,200-meter staircase was closed due to the threat of bears. A sign was installed at the site warning of increased predator activity.

On September 24, a bear was reported near people in the Zabaikalsky Krai. The animal was spotted in the village of Tyrgetui. It was located near a school. A group of hunters was dispatched to the scene.
