Human flesh and hair have been found inside the stomach of a bear thought to have killed at least one person in Japan.
Locals have been warned to stay away from the mountainous Akita region after the body of a badly mauled woman was found last week.
Last month three men in their sixties and seventies also died in apparent attacks while harvesting bamboo in a mountain forest.
Bear attacks on humans in the region are not unusual - but fatal ones are.
Local vet Takeshi Komatsu said it was possible the bear may have "got a taste for human flesh".
...
the bear may not be the only one involved in the attacks ...
The worst bear attack in Japan was in 1915 when an 8ft bear woke from hibernation and killed seven villagers in Hokkaido.

Remember the “Snowboarder chased by bear” selfie on youtube a few months ago?
Some were questioning if it was photo shopped.

There was once a very good movie about this, I saw years ago.... famous Japanese director... the family brought the woman to the top of a mountain to die in the cold and snow... She considered herself a burden.
Give the bears foodstamps and free cellphones and they will quit killing people.
I used to think the ritual bear sacrifices carried out by the Ainu people of Hokkaido were cruel. Not anymore. Bears kill.
Bear season.
sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you..
