I hope this story does not turn into a ‘Nothingburger’.
UPDATE:
The story on the bear man was reported by major Russian newspaper Izvestia and news agency EADaily.
But a spokesman at the health ministry in Tyva Republic said: ‘We cannot confirm the case happened in Tuva.
‘It was not registered by the Ministry of Health, the Emergencies Ministry or any other official body (in the region).
‘Most probably, it happened somewhere outside Tuva.’
Speech on the background in the video appears not to be local language Tuvan.

A tough old managing editor I worked under as a young reporter always used to say:
“If a story sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
Still, that picture ...
