    On the Japanese Island of Hokkaido, there is a very large subspecies of brown bear called the Ussuri brown bear, or Ursus arctos lasiotus, also known as the Amur bear. This bear is very large, comparable to every other brown bear species. But, this particular subspecies of brown bear is renowned for its aggressiveness and hostility toward human beings.
    The problems started arising on the Ikeda’s family farm in early winter of 1915. The family horse was panicked by a disturbance in the barn and the family patriarch rushed out to witness a large bear fleeing his barn having raided the family cache of corn. This area was still very primitive and animal incursions were not unheard of.
    A few days later the big bear reappeared. Being concerned for the horse, Mr. Ikeda rounded up some volunteers and decided to chase the bear away for good. The men positioned themselves for a kill shot and fired shots striking the bear. The bear fled and the men went to bed for the night to allow the bear to die.
    In the morning, they resumed tracking the bear and followed the blood trail for sometime before a snowstorm set in. The bear was headed toward a nearby mountain and the men assumed that that would be the last they heard from him, since they had given him plenty of reason to avoid further contact with humans.
    On December 9th of the same year, the Ota family was enjoying basic farm chores around mid morning. The family matriarch, Abe Mayu, was watching an infant named Mikio. They were enjoying the warmth of the fire when the injured and hungry brown bear knocked down the door and growled and pawed at them. The bear backed Mayu across the room and reached into her arms and bit the head of the baby killing her instantly.
    Mayu fought with all of her might, throwing firewood, and just about anything else she could get her hands on, at the beast. She was obviously no match for the giant brown bear as it simply knocked her down and tore her to pieces in her own home. Mayu was dragged from the house into the nearby forest. It was reported that the floor of the home was covered in her blood.
    A 30 man search party was organized on the following day. They had no sooner entered the forest before running into the brown bear. The bear was clearly guarding a food cache from them. Five of the volunteers fired at the giant before the bear could be driven from the scene. The men found Mayu’s remains. All that was left of her was her head and portions of her lower body. The bear had consumed the rest of her corpse overnight.
    Amongst the villagers the obvious concern was that the bear would now think of people as a food source. They mustered a hunting party of 50 farmers to rid their village of this bear once and for all. The rallying point was the Ota farmhouse.
    The bear appeared, as expected, at around 8 PM but the hunting party was in such disarray that only a single shot was fired before the bear escaped. The party immediately left the neighboring Miyouke homestead and started following the bear tracks downstream in the dark of night.
    The Miyouke matriarch, Yayo, was preparing a meal while the village men were chasing the bear. She held her son, Umekichi, in her arms while she worked. Yayo was startled by a noise outside and before she could check it out, the giant bear crashed through a window and into her house. As chaos ensued in the home, the contents of the meal she was preparing spilled onto the fire extinguishing it, and the oil lamp for lighting was put out as well. The house was dark and Yayo’s sons were seeking her protection. She tripped over them in confusion. The bear immediately began biting and clawing Yayo and her son.
    Odo was the only man who was left at the Miyouke home to protect them. Odo burst into the room and the bear immediately redirected its rage at him. This allowed Yayo and her sons to beat a hasty escape. Odo hid behind furniture but the bear raked him with its claws. Others in the house were not so lucky. The Saito family was seeking shelter with Yayo and her children. The bear killed the fourth Saito boy and bit his older brother. During this frenzied attack the bear also mauled and killed the 3rd oldest son of the Miyouke clan, Kinzo.

    hello friends, I'm a hunter from Romania, here we have the largest population of bears in Europe, it's a serious problem with bears. What people don't really know is that the bear is the fastest animal, over short distances, that the bear is not a stuffed toy, I see many people feeding bears on the side of the road, I always tell them that when the bear loses its fear of humans, it is a killing machine.

      What I learned it`s a pretty small area on a bear to shot and kill it compared to a pretty wide area to shot a Moose as an example, and to target a bear properly you shot aim on it from it`s side not when it`s facing you, if you aim and shot at it when it`s facing you te chance to kill it iT`s pretty small band you probably going to injure it, but when it`s attacking you you can`t not shot at it anyway because of the chock effect of the bullit hitting the flesh can still save you from worse injuries and give you the chance to reload and regroup to get a second shot with better accuracy that helps you survive for another day.

There is an accurate rebuild of the Oda house you can look inside, the interior was tiny - nowhere to hide when trapped in there with a large brown bear. The rest of the village has now completely returned to nature but you can still see the foundations of all the old buildings along the river. a REALLY eerie place to visit you can definitely feel the bad juju in the air despite the beauty of the place.

    One minor edit... is that with this particular bear, a lack of food is not what woke it up. A bear can wake up at just about any time from hibernation, and some studies have indicated that they some bears come in and out of hibernation for various reasons during the winter months. And this can be shown in that the hunting party going off and following tracks that are then found to be a DIFFERENT bear, or at least thought to be a different bear.
    Hunger only comes in AFTER the bear has woken up. And in this, that's what is suspected to have driven its aggression. For while bears can and do eat meat, the bulk of their diet is actually vegetation... as they are omnivores. But in December in Hokkaido... much of the plant material that it would eat sin the spring and summer would be in winter dormancy, which in this particular case drew the bear after the feed for the horses on the nearby farm. From there the responses that wounded the bear only wounded and enraged an already hungry animal and increasing its aggression.

Then I spotted a Aspen scratching post. I'm 5'11 and with my arm fully stretched out I was still a good 3 to 4 feet below the claw marks in the bark.The penetration of the claws into the bark was unreal. I know Aspen is a soft wood but the marks were well past the bark and into the wood. I always think about how easily a swipe by that bear could shread a human.

    Thank you for this video. In Hokkaido, many bear attacks were recorded since mid-19th century, and this is the most known and most horrific one. Despite that there were bear attacks in which people were killed and eaten, tourists often ignore the warning signs and go close to the bears to take photos or to feed. I am afraid another incident will happen soon.

    One thing I notice, with all the bear attack stories I've heard, is the bear is always under estimated.
    Recently, in my own home town, I was walking my dog on my street when a black bear walked out of the woods and crossed less than 50yrds from me. I saw the bear and froze. The bear did not see me, my dog (a cane corso) didn't see the bear. If the bear had seen us and charged, it could have been on us in 3 seconds.
    In every case, the people I spoke to afterwards including the police entirely dismissed the concern I had. Only the DEC listened to me, then stated there had been several bear sightings on my street, including a different bear was hit and killed by the train running parallel next to my road, less than a week prior to my sighting!!
    This story is very unfortunate and I wish had never happened to such nice humble people.
    Note: The area the bear was headed into had been recently cleared of nearly all trees preparing for development.
    My personal theory is, the bear was following a large family of turkeys which had been hanging out next door to me and recently were seen moving off towards the area the bear I saw was headed.

      It must be terrifying also to be just peacefully living your life in the woods and suddenly being slammed by bullet after bullet as you stagger with confusion and pain before collapsing and dying, all because some macho trophy hunter wanted to brag that he had killed a bear. I'm just saying humans kill THOUSANDS of wild animals a year for the sheer thrill of it, but when an animal kills a human, how DARE it. Nothing against what YOU said at all, and you were spot on. Those women had absolutely horrible last moments.

Do you know chimps will form raid parties and kill and eat monekys alive and screaming. They don't do it for food as they can survive mainly on fruit and insects. Its for the bloodlust- where do you think we inherited it from. Did you know orca whales will 'play' with a seal until it's dead, not bothering to consume it. It also must be terrifying to be new born/youngster and an adult male comes and kills you and all your siblings just to force your mother into heat. Nature is brutal- how do think the average animal dies in the wild? They suffer greatly, either they are eaten alive or starve to death very slowly - I would prefer a bullet. FYI the fees and licenses hunters have to pay do more for wildlife protection than anything combined.

    Around this time, I think the Japanese Govt was promoting settlers and homesteaders up in the northern island of Hokkaido, which is still, to this day, sparsely populated in most places outside Sapporo. So I think these were probably transplants from crowded main islands and not natural, rugged frontiersmen, which may be why they were initially incompetent in dealing with it. The Ainu people of Hokkaido probably knew how to handle a rogue bear.

      Any chance you could stop google earth from zooming in automatically? It makes the earth turn too fast, starting from an irrelevant place, and then zooms in too fast, so we don't really get a sense of the region. You have plenty of time to set the scene up and give us a good look at the relevant parts of the map and zoom in slower so it makes more sense. Instead, have the zone in question already be center of screen, and zoom in manually. For example, when the narration mentions Japan, show Japan. When the narration mentions Island of Hokkaido, highlight Hokkaido and zoom in further. I think every viewer would notice an improvement in production.

For while the Bachelor had no record of attacking people, he was big enough that they feared him eating their cattle which would then mean that the killing of the Bachelor was more out of fear of POSSIBLE attacks.
      And no... the people in Nepal and India did not purposely leave out livestock for the Champawat Tigress to eat, nor did they see her as a friend. In fact, when Corbett arrived in the area, he found that the residents of the villages were terrified beyond belief, and the sister of one of the Tigress's victims had gone mute from the shock of her sister's death and didn't regain her voice until AFTER Corbett had killed the Champawat Tigress.
      The tigress that was beloved and feed was Machli, the Queen of Ranthambore, which is much further south in India than where Champawat is. Though much of the feeding of Machli came because of Machli's character had won a lot of fans that didn't want to lose her... which then kept the Park Rangers looking after her until she died of old age in 2016, at one of the oldest wild tigers ever. And there has been no record of Machli ever killing people. The highlight, and what won her so many fans is that she often used the tourist jeeps for cover to go after deer. In this, Machli seemed to like to be on camera.
      As for tiger psychology... that's been something that was more noted from an incident in Russia which is posted on the "Scary Animal Attacks" channel in which a Siberian Tiger was shot and wounded by a Russian poacher and then took his revenge on him and any other human he could get his claws into. It's something that could mean that tigers bear grudges. And some of this could possibly apply to the Champawat Tigress as the damage to her teeth was done by a low muzzle velocity gun shot that struck her in the muzzle and damaged to two canines. Thus, she may have equated humans with the injury and bore that grudge until Corbett killed her.
      Though... with tigers, it should be noted that grudges against humans isn't the prime reason for turning maneater. What most scientists and naturalists have commented as what has driven most tigers to turn maneater comes to old age and/or injury, and not all injuries were inflicted by man.

If the rule is if there's a sow there's a boar. That means the central part of Idaho is filled with grizzlies and nobody really even knows it.

    First being raised in a japenese home. I appreciate your knowledge on pronouncing terms second it sounds to me as bears like this are commonly known or referred to as the 25ths. As you know many state the 25ths are the most aggressive dominant adults in a bear population or they say. It is my thoughts that all animals domesticated or wild should be respected for their natural instinct. They say you can never tame a animal due to natural instinct but they can be conditioned to perform or to do specific task but taming is out of the question period. I strongly believe that with all animals alike.

    I used to work for the government. One of my duties was to inspect radio towers. I was looking for one among a bunch of towers on a mountain top. As I walked across an open area surrounded by hip high bushes, a mother black bear and two cubs walked out into the opening 50 feet from me. We all stopped and stared at each other for about 30-45 seconds. Then the bears continued their walk into the bushes on the other side of the opening.
    I suddenly realized I needed to go back to my vehicle and leave!
    Another day, I was looking for a different radio tower on a different mountain top. I found it standing next to a small building housing the transmitter and receiving equipment. As I got close to the building surrounded by brush, small trees and fallen trees, I saw a huge hornet nest on the side of the building with hornets flying in and out. That was another time I decided it was wiser to leave than inspect the tower.
    I looked down to my feet to be sure that I could walk back to my vehicle without tripping and found I was standing right next to a pile of very fresh bear poop. It was still moist! I looked everywhere for the bear as I carefully stepped over fallen trees and around bushes going back to my vehicle to leave. Never did see that bear. Never saw any bear poop that fresh either!
