Brown bears in Kamchatka have not yet entered hibernation.
According to the data of the Ministry of Forestry, due to urban predators, trips in the forest may be dangerous for residents and tourists today.
At the same time, experts point out that there is no anomaly in the behavior of animals, since such hibernation periods correspond to many years of observations. Usually, bears finally hide in their dens only with the establishment of firm frost and deep snow.
The Ministry of Forestry and Hunting mentioned that the brown bear hunting season is now ongoing in the territory of Kamchatka. It will last until November 20. On the 7th in Kamchatka, a camp site guard died from a bear attack. The predator was eliminated. This is the fourth tragic case of an animal-human encounter in the region in 2026.
