In search of food: how bears maim and kill Russians. Non-survivor: In the Khabarovsk Territory, a huge cannibal bear tore to pieces a mushroom picker. Bear attack on people in the Perm Territory

Two cases of bear attacks on people occurred in the Perm region. The site's correspondent talked with one of the miraculously surviving men and found out how the attack took place and how he managed to escape.

Sergey works as a forester in one of the forestry organizations in the Chernushinsky district. On an ordinary day at work, he was attacked by a bear. The man miraculously managed to escape.

On Friday, August 25, my partner and I went to the forest to work,” says Sergei. - When we entered the forest, they immediately began to make noise and explode firecrackers, making themselves known. This is a standard procedure that lets the animals know that they are not alone in the forest. My partner stayed to cut down the trees, and I went further into the forest. On the way, I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I walked deeper into the forest. At some point I turned around. And I saw him standing in full height and preparing for a bear attack.

According to Sergei, he ran away from him as fast as he could. However, the animal set off in pursuit of the forester.

I fell. “He grabbed my hand and started shaking me,” recalls Sergei. “I twisted around and ran further, I saw my partner, he had a chainsaw in his hands. I ran to him, the bear did not come closer. He turned around and walked away.

The second incident occurred three weeks earlier with Sergei’s colleague Georgiy.

My colleague carried out planned activities in the forest,” says Sergei. - At some point he met a mother bear with cubs. He started to run, the bear followed him. She caught up with him, wanted to grab him by the throat, but he put his hand down, the bear grabbed it and began to tug at it, then threw it away. He got up and ran. The beast is behind him. He climbed a tree, the bear began to climb up to him, but, not reaching him, she went down and left. Georgy got down and ran on. But suddenly he again saw the beast rushing towards him.

According to Sergei, in short runs, climbing and descending into the trees, Georgiy went out to the road and met Sergei.

He looked frightened, his arm was torn and his leg was wounded,” recalls Sergei. “I put him in the car and took him to the hospital.

Sergei says that these two attacks occurred for the first time in 5 years of working in the forest. In his opinion, the cause could be the summer heat wave of 2016. Then many forests burned down. And now there are fewer forests, and more bears.

Good to know! What to do when meeting a bear

The head of the Bershevsky hunting farm, Dmitry Kuzmin, advises pretending to be dead when meeting a bear.

If you encounter an animal, under no circumstances should you move,” says Dmitry. - Freeze and scream loudly. If the bear does attack you, there are two ways to stay alive. If you have a knife with you, try to dive under the bear's front paws and rip open its belly. The second option is to pretend to be dead. When a bear mauls you, you should endure it, regardless of the pain. The bear does not immediately eat its prey. If you endure and show no signs of life, there is a chance to save it.

This was reported in the city department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A local security guard noticed an open grave in a cemetery near the village of Start. He called the police, and an investigative team, a dog handler and a game warden arrived at the scene. Experts noticed bear tracks near the grave.

The predator could have been attracted by the smell of corpses - this is possible if the bodies are not buried deep enough underground. According to another version, the bear entered the cemetery because of the smell of food that visitors leave on the graves. The next night the animal returned to the cemetery again - then it was shot.

The head of the region's wildlife conservation department said that it was an adult, non-lactating female. The body that was dragged away by the animal has not yet been found - the search continues.

A few days before this incident in the Khabarovsk Territory, a bear attacked a mushroom picker. He died on the spot from his injuries. The administration of the Verkhnebureinsky district of the region reported that on the morning of August 12, a resident of the village of Suluk went out to pick mushrooms and did not return.

The administration spokesman added that Lately bears began to appear frequently near Suluk. “An encounter with a bear that is not afraid of humans is very dangerous. It is also dangerous to meet a mother bear with cubs, which may run close to a person out of curiosity, the mayor’s office said in a statement. “According to people, teenage bears or a mother bear with cubs were seen on the sides of village roads, landfills, and railway embankments.”

According to the administration, bears come to people to find food. Thus, they are often attracted by the smell from landfills.

At the beginning of August in the Khabarovsk Territory there was amazing story saving an 83-year-old woman from a bear - the pensioner growled for two days to scare away the animal. On August 5, the woman’s relatives contacted her to report her missing. According to relatives, the pensioner went alone into the forest to pick mushrooms from the village of Sita and disappeared.

The woman tried to scare away the bear that was watching her with a roar,” said a source in the volunteer search and rescue team.

As the rescued woman herself said, she was walking through the forest looking for mushrooms, fell into the muddy bottom of a stream and could not get out. At this time, a bear began to circle nearby. The woman was hospitalized. According to hospital staff, she experienced severe stress.

On July 24, in Karelia, a female bear attacked a man to protect her offspring. According to local media reports, the territory summer cottage A bear cub came running at the Rodnik gardening partnership. The owner of the house noticed him and came out to pet the cute animal. Soon after the bear cub, a female came out of the forest and rushed at the man.

Back in May, Deputy Minister natural resources Karelia Pavel Nikolaevsky said that in 2019 the number of bears in the republic increased by one thousand and reached more than 3.5 thousand. After hibernation the animals woke up hungry, and therefore cases of their appearance in populated areas region.

“We must not forget that a person himself partially provokes the emergence of a bear. Many people have garbage dumps at their dachas where the garbage is not collected, and that’s where the bear comes out,” concluded Nikolaevsky.

BLACK BREASTS

The emergency occurred on August 12, five hundred meters from the village of Suluk, Verkhnebureinsky district. At about half past eight in the morning, railway workers living in Suluk, having gone to work, found traces of massacre on the road - it was all covered in blood. Bloody footprints stretched to the left side of the road, where the torn body of an elderly man lay; traces of a struggle were visible in the dust; nearby in the bushes a huge bear roared and rushed at people, its entire face smeared with human blood.

When they called me and said that trouble had struck, I immediately took the carbine and went to the scene,” he says Sergey Ryabov, head of administration of the Suluk rural settlement. “There I saw road workers, a body lay on the side of the road, a hat and dark glasses with a broken temple on the road itself, a broken table knife next to the body - the dead man was probably going to use it to cut mushrooms, and a bag. The bear lay a little further away, dead - someone had shot him. The workers never admitted who did it, they say they came, and the bear had already been killed. Face dead person remained intact - he was immediately identified. It turned out to be the first builder of our village, Alexander Mikhailovich. The sight was terrible. The bear not only killed him, but also tried to eat him.

Alexander Mikhailovich was 66 years old, a man in the prime of his life - as fellow villagers say. He is definitely a positive person, head of the veterans’ council, creator of a women’s choir, kind and sympathetic. In the village he had his own small business - a shop. Not long ago, he decided to move from northern Suluk further south to Vyazemsk, bought a house, and moved his wife there. He returned to Suluk for a certificate, literally two days before his death.

The day before he approached me, we agreed that we would meet at 10 am on August 12 and complete all the documents. “I can’t imagine why he went into the forest,” says the head of the village. - On the day of his death, at half past seven in the morning, he was met by a woman; according to her, Alexander Mikhailovich was walking lightly, in his hands there was a knife and a bag. He said - for mushrooms, he has a secret clearing in the forest where black milk mushrooms grow. It was to this “plantation” that he went. Who knew that everything would turn out like this.

STRANGE BEAR

The longer you talk with the local inhabitants, the stranger this story with the bear looks. There are too many inconsistencies and even... mysticism in it.

Firstly, all the residents of Suluk claim that they haven’t seen bears in the village for twenty years, they say, they have nothing to do there, so they don’t go.

Secondly, August is not the time for bears to attack anyone. There is a lot of food in the taiga: berries, mushrooms, fish - everything is in abundance. Why would a predator take a risk and go to the village?

Thirdly, an autopsy of the animal showed that it was full - the predator’s stomach was filled, as they say, to capacity with the gifts of the taiga. However, after killing a man, he immediately began to eat him. This is also not typical for bears, especially those that have eaten to their fullest. Usually, according to hunters, after killing their prey, they bury it and return only when a “sweet smell” appears.

This club-footed cannibal violated all bear principles at once. Well, and finally - for some reason the mushroom picker knew that he would die from the paws of a bear.

When I called his wife to tell him the sad news, continues Sergei Ryabov. “She admitted that before going into the forest, Alexander first called her. He said that he would go mushroom hunting and would not take his phone with him because he was afraid of losing it. As soon as he returns from the forest, he will call back, and if there is no call, it means that he was eaten by a bear! Can you imagine? How so? How could he know this? I would understand if he took a weapon with him, but he walked with only a kitchen knife. It is also unclear why the knife was broken - the blade burst, but there was no blood on it. The entire village is perplexed as to how the bear ended up nearby and why it attacked the mushroom picker. The game wardens and I walked around the area, there were no garbage dumps nearby - nothing that could attract a predator.

Investigators are now looking into this case. A pre-investigation investigation is being conducted into the death, based on the results of which a procedural decision will be made.

"However......you can't go into the forest with one leg!!! Not with both!!!" - concludes padolski.

However, some did not believe that the photo of the bear monster was real.

“It looks like Photoshop. - A truck crane in such... is problematic to drive. The slinging of the load (the bear) is incomprehensible. Did they intercept the cable under the arms? Then the angle of the chucks should be different,” vredtech reflects.

“Why did the paw suddenly turn from black to brown in one of the pictures?” - kremlin_curant doubts.

“A bear the size of a Ural cabin must weigh three tons,” sairrysh is sure.
