Why It Matters
In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, there have been cases of bear attacks on people.
You can identify a man-eating bear by raising its head and making no noise. Dmitry Kropachev, associate professor of the Department of Biology at the Siberian State University of Engineering and Biotechnology, warned Russians about these signs of a dangerous predator, his words are quoted by TASS.
According to the expert, a bear that is planning to attack a person will not warn of its intentions; in this way it differs from an animal defending its territory.
“[The defensive bear] wants the person to leave, not to eat him. The predator behaves differently: it moves quietly and purposefully, without demonstrative threats. For him, a person is prey,” Kropachev said.
Earlier today, September 25, it was reported that in the Krasnoyarsk Territory a bear killed a Russian woman near her house. On September 24, hockey coach Alexander Kuzmenko became a victim of a bear attack.
