Authorities in Fukushima, Japan, are in pursuit of a bear described as 'extremely intelligent' after it attacked four people, demonstrating unusual behaviors such as unlocking a window and using a tap to drink water. The bear was filmed on CCTV attacking an employee in a company car park and later entered an electronics factory, where it injured additional individuals. Despite efforts to capture the bear, including setting traps and deploying tranquilliser guns, it managed to escape by unlatching a locked window. Fukushima City officials reported that the tranquilliser dart appeared ineffective, raising concerns about the bear's condition. Following a record number of bear attacks in Japan, including 13 fatalities in the past year, local schools temporarily closed but reopened with heightened security measures. The increase in bear encounters is attributed to factors like rural depopulation and climate change affecting food supplies.
