Sarıkamış bears appear in streets searching for food
In the Sarıkamış district of Kars, brown bears are increasingly appearing in residential streets and avenues as temperatures drop. The animals are reportedly searching for food near trash containers in the district center in preparation for their upcoming hibernation.
Local residents have had various encounters with the wildlife. One resident, Emre Çıtrak, described a close encounter with a mother bear and two cubs, noting that the mother bear acted aggressively toward him. While some locals have become accustomed to the nightly presence of the bears, authorities note that encounters with mother bears and their cubs increase the risk of danger.
