Don't dare to move, turn over the wall, dismantle the iron gate... bear haunts the center of a county town in Xizang frequently? Local response: National second level protected animal personnel | Video | National
In recent days, multiple videos about the appearance of bears have attracted attention and heated discussions!
On Friday, June 30, local people in Naqubaqing County, Xizang sent a video saying that a bear appeared on the street and chased anyone.
Yesterday, another bear appeared on the streets of the urban area of Baqing, suspected to be the same big bear the day before yesterday.
The video shows that a big bear appeared on the street and immediately chased after someone passing by. The passersby quickly ran away, but the big bear did not catch up.
Subsequently, the big bear became interested in a simple house on the roadside and overturned the wall below the window before breaking in.
Orange Persimmon Interactive noticed that there have been many occurrences of big bears appearing in the local area.
In late May this year, multiple brown bears appeared at the entrance of the Gongri Township checkpoint in Baqing County, driving away and scaring away the dogs, and then overturning the large iron gate to break in.
Police sources say that the gate of the checkpoint has been damaged several times by bears, and after setting off firecrackers to drive it away, it will run back. Every time a bear appears, the government notifies the public not to go out at night as much as possible and formulates a evacuation plan.
Due to the frequent appearance of bears, some bears have been photographed and posted on video platforms, even becoming internet celebrities.
Last August, a hiker encountered a "internet famous bear" on the road from 558 National Highway to Xiaquka Town.
Last August, someone captured another big bear in Bianba County. It quickly climbed up the wall with its claws and was not afraid of the glass shards installed on the wall. It climbed over the wall directly.
Netizens with the logo of "Beijing Forestry University" told about the occurrence of bears in Xizang——
The village where I was stationed at that time. A few years ago, a garbage dump was built, which led to the gathering of brown bears.
"According to local staff, there were as many as twenty bears counting inside and outside the garbage dump at night. When we drove out at dusk, we also saw bears appearing in the mountain lanes."
A person from Baqing County told Orange Persimmon Interactive, "Last year, someone went up the mountain to dig cordyceps and encountered a brown bear! They were injured."
This morning, Orange Persimmon Interactive contacted the Natural Resources Bureau of Baqing County regarding the phenomenon of "bears appearing".
The staff introduced that the brown bears appearing here are all wild and belong to the second level of national protection animals. We will remind everyone to avoid and not harm bears when encountering them.
This situation has not happened once or twice. In April of this year, brown bears also appeared in the city center and ran into the unit courtyard.
The staff explained that in recent years, the number of brown bears has been increasing, which is related to the level of protection. Before 2010, bears were rarely seen in Baqing.
The staff said, "We have also received feedback from grassroots units, hoping to control the number of brown bears appropriately. However, because it is a protected animal, there is currently no better way besides driving and reminding everyone to avoid it."
The staff of the Baqing County Government Office stated that a notice on relevant precautions has been issued so far.
