Episode Details

Bears are going rogue in Japan again—this time in Fukushima, where one wild black bear attacked four people, including a man in his twenties and two elderly workers, while an 80-year-old woman was also caught in the chaos. With over 230 attacks last year and 13 fatalities, the trend is alarming. Experts blame shrinking, aging human populations and fewer hunters to control bear numbers. The government’s rolling out a new plan: more traps, more bear control staff, and even considering culling. If you spot one, stay calm, move slowly, and if attacked—play dead and protect your neck. This isn’t just a local issue; bears are now spotted near Tokyo.
