Bear “Came down” after midnight in the city of Florina from the mountain, however the strays of the area forced her to head directly to the forest.
«This space is the breeding season for bears, so mobility is definitely increased. The main reason to be in a residential area is food. The breeding season presupposes the bears and increased nutritional needsHe told GRTimes the communication manager of “Arcturus”, Panos Stefanou.
As shown in the video the bear runs in the city of Florina as if something worries her, while in the next video it seems that stray dogs in the area chase her, causing her to flee.
Mr. Stefanou points out that in addition to finding food, the bear may have moved, due to increased competition. «This particular one may not have had a living space, because there were bigger ones than that, as a result of which she looked for another place and thus “came down” to the city of Florina. But, to emphasize to the citizens that it is just a passage of the animal and there is no willingness to install. It has happened in the past and other times and it is very likely to happen again».
How do you behave in case of meeting a bear
In the event of a meeting with a bear, Arcturus’s communications manager gives the following coping tips:
«First be calm, because there is no reason to panic. The bear does not hunt humans. Second, do not move towards the bear, especially if there is a small one next to it. Third, to show that he does not want to harass her in any way and fourth to give her an escape route, if he meets her indoors».
As for whether the residents of the area are in danger, Mr. Stefanou adds that there is no issue of risk, while such an issue will rarely arise. «Τto move in areas with huge volume is not dangerous. However, if one encounters a bear in his yard or on a path that is closedPiit should give her as much space as possible and not be directed upwards».
