Going to rest in Goryachiye Klyuchye, on the island of Iturup on the Kuril ridge, locals encountered a fat Himalayan bear on the way. It is distinguished from brown by a white chest.
As the Sakhalin Emergency Telegraph channel wrote, the predator “inspected the eyewitnesses’ car and, not detecting a threat, majestically retreated into the forest.”
It is noted that bears are found on the two southernmost Kuril islands – Kunashir and Iturup, and the two northernmost – Shumshu and Paramushir. There are no bears on the other islands.
The problem of the appearance of bears on the Kuril Islands is still unclear. Some researchers believe that the islands lived here even before they separated from the mainland. Others believe that the Japanese brought them to the islands. It is also possible that the bears came to the northern islands on ice or by swimming. Eyewitnesses write that they have repeatedly seen bears swimming many kilometers from the shore. kurily.wordpress.
