Enjoying a rare clear and sunny day in Sounkyo, I took a walk on a side trail somewhat off the national route. And there I found them, just as I thought I might.
Ursus arctos yesonesis tracks.
The rather big tracks indicate that the Ursus arctos yesonesis have not started hibernating yet.
They usually begin hibernating between mid-November and early December, but it seems that the weather conditions are still not quite right…
The tracks were still relatively fresh, so I immediately turned back. Although the forest road will remain mostly unused in the coming months, sufficient care will still be required when going near it.
