Bears began to hibernate in Buryatia During the last week, Porphyrodenzor received 31 complaints about bears entering populated areas in Buryatia. As a result of the visit of the hunting inspectors and hunters of the state, 16 individuals were eliminated. A total of 452 bears have been killed since the beginning of the period. "The decrease in the number of calls is due to natural biological processes - the bears gradually enter hibernation. The activity of animals decreases, they move less and less tend to reach populated areas. However, the remaining season can be dangerous until the last animals lie in their dens", comments Denis Krylov, head of the department for the field of registration of wild animals, multi-hunter objects and breeding.
