KOTA BHARU: Villagers who live near Pos Balar in Gua Musang have been warned not to approach a bear seen roaming there if they sense the presence of the wild animal again.
Kelantan Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks director Mohamad Hafid Rohani said the reminder was to safeguard the already fearful residents and ensure that animals in the wild like the straying bear were not threatened in an accidental conflict with humans.
"Currently, the route to enter the area is quite inaccessible as the road terrain is quite rugged and challenging due to the foul weather. "So, our rangers will try to enter the area on Tuesday which will take about five hours, but that again depends on the unpredictable weather conditions later,” he said when contacted by Bernama on Monday .
Previously, media reported two separate incidents involving the presence of a bear at an Orang Asli village near Kampung Dakoh and Kampung Perawas in Pos Balar, in which the wild animal was seen raiding the orchards for durian and prowling in the cemetery as a villager claimed it dug up a recent grave to devour the corpse. - Bernama
