Chapter 523 Black Bear Disaster
The Sanmao Bie Xiong incident cannot be said to be the fuse, but it is also a landmark event and a classic symbol of human-bear conflict.
In the dead of winter, a giant bear with no food stored broke into a village, killing seven people and injuring three. This was a horrific incident no matter which country it happened in, so it was recorded in full.
Because it is so famous, this tragedy has been made into novels, comics, stage plays and movies, which have been played over and over again and are known to everyone in Japan.
When this ferocious predator was finally hunted down, people found that the giant beast was 2.7 meters tall and weighed 340 kilograms.
[Fuck, 2.7 meters, isn't this too exaggerated? ]
[This is a fucking floor high, sticking out from your wall]
[The one Fang Shen encountered the first time was only 2.2 meters tall, right? This one is going to be half a meter longer? ]
The audience in the live broadcast room had seen the black bear that Bifang encountered during his first live broadcast. Among the black bears with an average height of 1.8 meters, this one was a giant.
Just by looking at it on the computer, one can feel an extremely strong sense of oppression, not to mention that Bifang was alone at the time, in the deep mountains and forests, with only a stone spear in his hand.
If it were them, let alone resisting, they would pee their pants on the spot, and then be eaten up, which would be the final outcome.
In fact, the Sanmao Biepi incident at that time was even more tragic.
The giant creature was first seen in November near the village of Sanmobetsu in western Hokkaido, where it sneaked into a home and frightened the horses away.
The owner of this household, Tomozao Ikeda, found that only some corn was lost, but the footprints more than 30 cm long in the soil were shocking.
A month later, on the morning of December 9, the brown bear sneaked into the home of its first victim, Ota, and ate Ota's young son and wife. From then on, its cannibalism was completely triggered, and it began to commit crimes crazily.
On the night of December 10, the brown bear came to the village again. After the killing, five women and children were killed by the bear, and three people escaped with serious injuries.
On December 11, the villagers were extremely angry after the tragedy. All women, children and the elderly were evacuated, and the men spontaneously formed a bear hunting team to go up the mountain to seek revenge on the bear.
On December 12, the vicious incident of bear attacking people in Sanmaobie Village was reported to the Hokkaido Prefecture. The bear hunting team and the villagers' bear catching team went up the mountain to look for the bear, but when no one was in the village, the brown bear sneaked into the village again, almost ate up the winter food of several people's homes, and demolished eight huts.
After that, the Hokkaido Prefecture deployed a total of 600 people in the expedition for three consecutive days, including more than 10 Ainu dogs and 60 guns. The village continued to send reinforcements, and soldiers from the 7th Army Division and police were on high alert to search everywhere. This was an unprecedented expedition to subjugate the wild beasts.
However, none of the 600 people found the bear. Finally, it was a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War named Yamamoto Hyokichi who made a contribution. He shot two bullets at the bear's heart and head beside a white oak tree, killing the giant bear.
Later, in order to erase the memory of this horror, the villagers burned down the huts in the mountain village and moved downstream, leaving here forever. The incident came to an end and disappeared in history.
After hearing Fang's story, the audience was speechless.
Is this a fucking bear?
Is this a Grizzly tank?
[If Bifang comes, can he defeat this bear? ]
[I think it’s difficult…]
[It's fake at first glance. It's really amazing that you can kill a brown bear with two shots. At most, you will just scratch the skin. How can you kill it directly?]
[Last time I saw someone on Tieba, saying that 700 AKs can't kill 700 tigers. That's you, right? Cover your face, isn't that shameful ?]
[It's really ridiculous . It turns out that humans have become so powerful that they can easily kill tigers at the top of the food chain. A normal AK can shoot 70 or 80 rounds at a tiger, and it can bite off the barrel of your gun with bullets.]
[Tiger: Don’t bring me along with you if you want to brag]
[What's up, you tiger can use the Storm Nebula Split? ]
[Seventy or eighty shots, the Earth Tiger Warrior will be killed by you]
Bifang broke off the bushes in front of him and entered the jungle. He said, "Although this is a brown bear, there is no strict requirement for this hunting season that it must be a black bear. Brown bears are actually fine. In fact, brown bears are generally larger in size. If you can hunt one, you will get a higher score."
In the wild in Japan, there are two kinds of bears distributed, one is the Asiatic black bear and the other is the brown bear.
There are two subspecies of brown bear in Japan: Ussuri brown bear and Japanese brown bear.
The Ussuri brown bear is also known as the Northeast brown bear. They are mainly distributed in the northern region of Japan. The Japanese brown bear is also known as the Hokkaido brown bear. They are mainly distributed in Hokkaido in northern Japan.
The black bear is one of the seven black bear subspecies, the Japanese black bear. It is more widely distributed than the brown bear and is found in Shikoku and Honshu of Japan. It was originally also found in Kyushu, but has become extinct.
"Because of its name, people may mistakenly think that brown bears have brown fur, but in fact, brown bears also have black fur, but compared to the black bear's black fur, its fur is a little brown."
"I mentioned this a long time ago. A distinctive feature of black bears is a crescent-shaped patch of white hair on their chests. This is the fundamental way to distinguish the two."
The habitats of brown bears and black bears occupy almost more than half of Japan's land area, and there are 127 million people living on Japan's land. Obviously, the bears killed by Japan are both black bears and brown bears.
The same is true for this hunting season, but judging by the number of kills, black bears account for a larger proportion.
[As expected, a great reputation is a real one. This Chinese anchor is really amazing.]
[I see that all the shots from Japan were given to him]
[That's normal. Others just focus on getting on with their work and don't communicate or interact at all.]
Japanese netizens praised it.
The hunt had just begun, and most people had just entered the outskirts of the forest or jungle and had not yet officially started looking for clues.
After introducing them one by one, there is nothing much to watch. Besides, many hunters are very focused, like a mute person, and they don’t say much when they are given a shot. Who would watch this kind of situation?
No matter how well Bonegawa Suneo and Minamoto Shizuka act as supporting actors, it's useless.
On the contrary, the Bifang with Asian appearance is more in line with their aesthetics, and it can talk while walking, and occasionally communicate in Japanese. The quality of the pictures taken is also much higher.
Bonegawa Suneo exclaimed: "Oh, there are so many things that even I, the commentator, don't know. I feel like Fang Shen should be the commentator. He must be more qualified than me."
Yuan Shizuka said: "I heard that Fang Shen has also been a judge and commentator, and he has broadcast live more than once. People who have watched his live broadcasts all say that he is a great scholar with extensive knowledge of ancient and modern times."
"Oh, no wonder."
More importantly, no matter what language is spoken, it seems to be able to be translated perfectly in Bifang's live broadcast room.
There are many stories that the Japanese themselves don’t know, but Bifang knows them all. I didn’t want to leave after listening to them. I even felt it was troublesome to switch the screen. In the end, I even turned off the TV and searched for Bifang’s live broadcast room on my mobile phone.
Another person who is of relatively high level is Mugaren. As one of the only two people who have participated in the show, he has quite a bit of experience. Although he is not as familiar with the local history and the human-bear fight in Japan as Bifang, he is still quite interesting.
For example, Mugalen is not trying to catch a bear now, but is trying to shoot a hare.
"After the hunting season begins, I don't plan to go back to town. It's too troublesome to run back and forth, and it wastes time. So I have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the forest. I think it's better to have lunch first. Maybe I'll end up like Bifang, finding a black bear that fell into his trap because of a wild rabbit."
[Thinking too much]
[This bearded alien is quite interesting]
【The only two players worth watching】
[I am a little disappointed with the ghost hunter again. He hasn't caught the bear yet.]
In Bifang's live broadcast room, seeing the continuous influx of Japanese viewers, they all felt proud.
Another ghost hunter was completely defeated in the live broadcast!
Bifang squatted on the ground, checking for traces of passing animals and judging their sizes. Although his focus was not on hunting black bears, he still couldn't show it too obviously, at least not too different from previous live broadcasts.
"There are indeed too many bears in Japan. In addition to Fukui Prefecture, where hundreds of bears are spotted every year, there are many other places like this. Since the millennium, bear hunting has been carried out in various parts of Japan."
"According to statistics from the Ministry of the Environment of Japan, since 2000, the number of bears hunted in Japan has remained at an average of more than 1,000 per year, with 2019 being the year with the most bears hunted, at 5,667, followed by 2006 with 4,679."
Even this is not enough, human-bear conflicts continue to escalate.
That’s why Japan established a hunting season this year and even encouraged traditional ghost hunters to develop again.
[Fuck, thousands of them, isn't this too much? ]
[How many bears are there in Japan? They can’t be more than kangaroos in Australia, right?]
[Do you know? The population of the Vatican is only 800, and there are 30,000 black bears in Japan alone. If black bears decide to invade the Vatican, then every Vatican citizen will have to fight 37 black bears. You don't know, you only care about yourself! ]
[Vatican: Thirty-seven black bears? Kill me]
[This can also be used to create a meme? 】
[So why are there so many bears in Japan? Last time I heard that there are more black bears in Japan than in our country combined. Is that true?]
Bifang nodded: "It's true. The total number of black bears in China is less than 20,000, while Japan has more than 30,000. In fact, in the world, only white bears and Japan have black bears, which are not key protected animals."
"Japan is the natural habitat of black bears and brown bears, and they are widely distributed wild animals."
"Secondly, the proliferation of bears in Japan is related to the 'deer disaster' in the 1980s and 1990s."
"As for the deer disaster, it is related to the aging population and the migration of young people to cities for work."
With an aging population, are young people moving to cities to work?
The audience slowly typed out the relevant question marks.
What does this have to do with anything?
Is there a connection between these?
