The animal is believed to have started attacking livestock in 2019.
TOKYO: Hunters in Japan’s remote north have killed an elusive and infamous brown bear nicknamed “Ninja” that attacked at least 66 cows, officials said today.
The exploits of “OSO18”, as the bear was named, attracted considerable news coverage including dramatic television documentaries. The animal is believed to have started attacking livestock in 2019 in eastern areas of Hokkaido, Japan’s sparsely populated main northern island. Its habit of not eating the dairy cows that it attacked – only half of its 66 victims died – confused experts, and it eluded years of efforts to capture or kill it.“A brown bear was hunted on July 30, and various analyses, including DNA testing, resulted in a confirmation that it was OSO18,” Tadayoshi Takeda, an official with the Hokkaido regional government, told AFP today.
