Bear Encounter with Poisonous Mushrooms Captured on Video near Vladivostok
In the picturesque region of Primorye, Russia, a series of intriguing wildlife encounters and sightings have been reported recently. Here's a roundup of the latest news, brought to you by PrimaMedia.
During a quiet hunt in the Nazdezhinsky district, a bear unexpectedly emerged from the thicket and approached a person. Although the bear did not show aggression, the incident serves as a reminder of the wild animals that roam the region. The bear subsequently disappeared back into the forest, leaving the hunter unharmed.
In a separate incident, a bear attack occurred in Vladivostok, causing serious injuries to a local man. The man's face had to be reconstructed following the attack. It's worth noting that these two bear incidents are separate occurrences, as inferred from the reports.
The unique and elusive "fanged" deer, known as the elk or the "vampire deer" due to its distinctive characteristics, has been spotted in a Primorye reserve. Male elks are easily recognisable by their large fangs protruding from their mouths, which they use for display, fighting for rank, and competing for mates. Females also possess sharp fangs, though these are less noticeable. This species is the smallest deer in Korea and has white spot-like patterns visible only until about three months old when nursing. Unlike typical deer, elks can move their fangs independently.
Elks face natural predators such as Siberian tigers, Amur leopards, Ussuri brown bears, wolves, and birds of prey, although adult elks' small size and agility make them difficult targets for some predators. The elk's unique fanged feature distinguishes it from other deer, which usually have antlers but no prominent teeth.
Elsewhere in Primorye, a leopard was spotted on the highway in the Khassan District, and a shark was sighted in Vladivostok's waters.
