Bears in Primorye have accumulated a sufficient supply of fat for the winter and have begun migrating to their hibernation sites, the region's natural resources office reports. "The supply of food in the natural environment was sufficient for the bears to accumulate the fat reserves necessary for a successful winter. Now experts are already noticing the migration of animals to their habitats," the report said. Dening timing depends on climate and food availability. Experts noted that in the northern regions of the Primorsky Territory, bears usually take place in early December, and in the central and southern regions - in late December - early January. Also, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Primorye mentioned that bears should not be disturbed in their dens. An encounter with a bear is potentially more dangerous than an encounter with an Amur tiger because its behavior is less predictable.
