On the Japanese Island of Hokkaido, there is a very large subspecies of brown bear called the Ussuri brown bear, or Ursus arctos lasiotus, also known as the Amur bear. This bear is very large, comparable to every other brown bear species. But, this particular subspecies of brown bear is renowned for its aggressiveness and hostility toward human beings.
The problems started arising on the Ikeda’s family farm in early winter of 1915. The family horse was panicked by a disturbance in the barn and the family patriarch rushed out to witness a large bear fleeing his barn having raided the family cache of corn. This area was still very primitive and animal incursions were not unheard of.
A few days later the big bear reappeared. Being concerned for the horse, Mr. Ikeda rounded up some volunteers and decided to chase the bear away for good. The men positioned themselves for a kill shot and fired shots striking the bear. The bear fled and the men went to bed for the night to allow the bear to die.
In the morning, they resumed tracking the bear and followed the blood trail for sometime before a snowstorm set in. The bear was headed toward a nearby mountain and the men assumed that that would be the last they heard from him, since they had given him plenty of reason to avoid further contact with humans.
On December 9th of the same year, the Ota family was enjoying basic farm chores around mid morning. The family matriarch, Abe Mayu, was watching an infant named Mikio. They were enjoying the warmth of the fire when the injured and hungry brown bear knocked down the door and growled and pawed at them. The bear backed Mayu across the room and reached into her arms and bit the head of the baby killing her instantly.
Mayu fought with all of her might, throwing firewood, and just about anything else she could get her hands on, at the beast. She was obviously no match for the giant brown bear as it simply knocked her down and tore her to pieces in her own home. Mayu was dragged from the house into the nearby forest. It was reported that the floor of the home was covered in her blood.
A 30 man search party was organized on the following day. They had no sooner entered the forest before running into the brown bear. The bear was clearly guarding a food cache from them. Five of the volunteers fired at the giant before the bear could be driven from the scene. The men found Mayu’s remains. All that was left of her was her head and portions of her lower body. The bear had consumed the rest of her corpse overnight.
Amongst the villagers the obvious concern was that the bear would now think of people as a food source. They mustered a hunting party of 50 farmers to rid their village of this bear once and for all. The rallying point was the Ota farmhouse.
The bear appeared, as expected, at around 8 PM but the hunting party was in such disarray that only a single shot was fired before the bear escaped. The party immediately left the neighboring Miyouke homestead and started following the bear tracks downstream in the dark of night.
The Miyouke matriarch, Yayo, was preparing a meal while the village men were chasing the bear. She held her son, Umekichi, in her arms while she worked. Yayo was startled by a noise outside and before she could check it out, the giant bear crashed through a window and into her house. As chaos ensued in the home, the contents of the meal she was preparing spilled onto the fire extinguishing it, and the oil lamp for lighting was put out as well. The house was dark and Yayo’s sons were seeking her protection. She tripped over them in confusion. The bear immediately began biting and clawing Yayo and her son.
Odo was the only man who was left at the Miyouke home to protect them. Odo burst into the room and the bear immediately redirected its rage at him. This allowed Yayo and her sons to beat a hasty escape. Odo hid behind furniture but the bear raked him with its claws. Others in the house were not so lucky. The Saito family was seeking shelter with Yayo and her children. The bear killed the fourth Saito boy and bit his older brother. During this frenzied attack the bear also mauled and killed the 3rd oldest son of the Miyouke clan, Kinzo.

hello friends, I'm a hunter from Romania, here we have the largest population of bears in Europe, it's a serious problem with bears. What people don't really know is that the bear is the fastest animal, over short distances, that the bear is not a stuffed toy, I see many people feeding bears on the side of the road, I always tell them that when the bear loses its fear of humans, it is a killing machine.
Interesant! Adevărul e că sunt de acord cu vânătoarea de urși din moment ce sunt prea mulți. Stau la sat și mi-e frică. Chiar trebuie din păcate să mai exterminăm din el că altfel suntem în pericol.
@@catalinamaria9169 te salut prietene,,,problema începe când ursul nu se mai teme de om,devine o mașina de omorât.
In Slovakia bears are getting more bold and approaching human habitats. They are seems like over bread too. Yet the government doesn't allow the hunters to thin the numbers down. Almost like the government want humans to live in fear...nothing new under the Sun!
Thank you for that info.! Pray, be vigilant, carry .30-06 Springfield , 👍 🙏
Didn’t even know Japan had bears.
This event is truly terrifying.
Both, black and brown.
And Panda they are powerful also.
@@lennarthagen3638 There are no pandas in Japan.
@ACEKING yes, could be. Well, he is right about pandas' strength, and we DO have pandas in our zoo, just not in the wild.
I think Akitas were bred to protect against large animals, including bears.
Oh. My. God! Can you imagine preparing dinner one night and hearing a noise outside, then suddenly the door flies open and in comes a horrific monster of a bear to eat YOU and your children for dinner? How terrifying and sad!
I woke up just this past Sunday night to noises on my balcony, and saw the silhouette of a large, furry head and ears through the blinds. A black bear stopped by for a visit, but took off as soon as I turned the light on, thank goodness!
@@shiloh56401 oh no! That's scary! Be careful. Stay safe. Might want to call division of wildlife. You don't want that bear deciding to come inside. 😳
Yeah I can imagine it and it's the stuff of nightmares. I mean what can you do? They are fast, insanely powerful, and very hard to kill. If you don't have a big caliper and a good shot it's hard to kill big bears.
@@shiloh56401 That wasn't a Black Bear, that was me! I was just wanting to get a glimpse of ya!
@@Quintos. Bear Spray is better than a big bore rifle.They hate it.One whiff and they are on their way.Two good things about it.You don't have to be a great shot and it preserves life.The animals are just hungry.Once they get a taste of human blood, they have to be put down.ONE IMPORTANT RULE: Always make sure you are upwind when it's sprayed, one wrong spray, then you are easy prey for the Bear.
This sounds like something straight out of a freaking horror movie. May the people who were killed rest in peace. My heart goes out to them.
Amém 🙏🏽
Would make a great movie. True story even. Just wished it weren't true.
Would love to see people ripped apart by a 9 footb800 lb bear. And then see the grizzly get blown to bits as well
how can they rip? They died they are dead all the way...
@@Typhon888 ????
Bears are some of the most vicious predators on our earth, it's amazing how some people have a romanticized opinion of these creatures and are actually stupid enough to travel thru Bear territory unarmed
Pooh Bear never hurt nobody!!!
Stupid? You can't be a candy a__! Just because we have balls don't mean we're stupid. Beto maleto maketo!
Bingo
Yet dogs mail and kill many many more than bears, snakes and black widows combined
@@earthn1447 mosquitoes kill far more
I think what angers me the most is it sounded like, at least from what you said, the men were firing at it merely to either frighten it off, or wound it just enough to repel it. Don't shoot to wound, shoot to kill. If this bear is posing a very real threat to the safety of the individuals in the area, don't just slap the bear on the wrist and give it a firm 'No!', shoot to kill.
Yep, I'll wouldn't hesitate to kill that animal if my or family member's safety is in question. KILL THAT ANIMAL.
rifles were too weak at the time. 1913 in Hokkaido, Japan. Unfortunately.
Shut it
Say that to the victims and their families that died a slow agonizing death. That bear deserved it.
ya you should look into how to ward off bears from humans. Also, you need large rifle calibers for bears. Shooting to wound and shooting to make noise is what park rangers do, it shows the bear we are annoying, loud, and not easy meals.
Only thing that scared me more than the bear was the gross incompetence of the people that tried to kill it. Was half expecting to hear that they’d summoned the bear to court for it’s trial and were all deeply shocked and surprised when it failed to show up
Agreed. I cannot imagine so many people with guns being so incompetent as to not be able to kill a rogue bear immediately.
These galaxy brained individuals successfully baited it outside the house, but were standing single file when it came out the door. I have no idea how any rational individual would think that's ok, let alone 10
😆💯
it is just a story. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
@Shean Fall it’s not about him making it up- but this story is over 100 years old, likely transmitted from one person to the next by word of mouth at first. Details on old stories like this often get twisted or embellished - and that’s not even taking into account any possible language translation errors.
My grandfather told me, if something doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. Except for bears, they just kill you.
Unless I have my 10mm glock and 12 gauge remington. Bwahaha
@@DS..69 I agree, but unfortunately l was unarmed when l was attacked, l had to just submit, comply. It was a degrading, humiliating experiance, but l endured. But recktum, hell, l was ruint, and l will forever fell like.......nevermind. And now he won't even call me, the bastard
@@jakeroberts7435 🤣
My heart goes out to the families that survived these horrific Bear attacks. The Bravery of the man that hunted this beast down was a true hero. Wow, what an amazing and tragic story.
I can't believe I'm sitting here watching this at 4:00 in the morning. Bears terrify me. I'm a swimmer and grew up next to the ocean but was afraid of sharks then I moved to the Northwest and fell in love with the beautiful mountain lakes and streams. Bears! They have bears here !🤣 I've never actually seen one in the wild but a large black bear came walking right through our campsite while we were still asleep in a tent. I haven't been tent camping since.
I bet none of you had a firearm either huh?
@@GeneralGlockasiah no we didn't. It was a very crowded campsite. Ever imagined one would walk right through it.
Where we have our recreational property we see one or two Black Bears pretty much every time we go out. We usually stay for three to seven days at a time. We have never had a problem Bear but there is plenty of habitat for them ( Central Saskatchewan, Canada) and they leave us alone and we leave them alone.
Lol dont blame yall
Be carefull , eet will kill
Decades ago, when I lived in Alaska a bear was killed, it was found to have three different kinds of bullets in it!
Many wondering what happened to the people who shot the bear previously?
A common phrase, in Alaska, when asking about someone is, "He gone missing!"
Next to Maybe some very remote places in Asia, Alaska is one of the most dangerous places. You can disappear there and you will be gone faster than they could ever find your body.
@@scarybearattacks huh...I live in remote Alaska and never had any problems with bears. Stay alert, stay aware and when you see them stay away.
Just 'cause they look cuddly dosent mean they are.
What I learned it`s a pretty small area on a bear to shot and kill it compared to a pretty wide area to shot a Moose as an example, and to target a bear properly you shot aim on it from it`s side not when it`s facing you, if you aim and shot at it when it`s facing you te chance to kill it iT`s pretty small band you probably going to injure it, but when it`s attacking you you can`t not shot at it anyway because of the chock effect of the bullit hitting the flesh can still save you from worse injuries and give you the chance to reload and regroup to get a second shot with better accuracy that helps you survive for another day.
I can't believe they let that bear do that much damage and escape as many times as it did smh R.I.P to the families of this horrific story
One minor edit... is that with this particular bear, a lack of food is not what woke it up. A bear can wake up at just about any time from hibernation, and some studies have indicated that they some bears come in and out of hibernation for various reasons during the winter months. And this can be shown in that the hunting party going off and following tracks that are then found to be a DIFFERENT bear, or at least thought to be a different bear.
Hunger only comes in AFTER the bear has woken up. And in this, that's what is suspected to have driven its aggression. For while bears can and do eat meat, the bulk of their diet is actually vegetation... as they are omnivores. But in December in Hokkaido... much of the plant material that it would eat sin the spring and summer would be in winter dormancy, which in this particular case drew the bear after the feed for the horses on the nearby farm. From there the responses that wounded the bear only wounded and enraged an already hungry animal and increasing its aggression.
You are correct. Bears do
come out of hibernation
to find food. This is when
they're most dangerous.
Nothing is scarier than a bear attack, and this was one of the scariest.
Actually, Mikio was six years old then. He was not a baby. He sat on the floor when the bear came in the barn. So huge the bear was, Mikio froze and couldn’t make any move. First the bear bit him to death and attacked Mayu.She tried to kill it with an axe but she overwhelmed it’s power, the bear bit her and carried her remains to the woods nearby.
Is that a fact?
Thank you. Wonder what else is made up or incorrect.
Sorry but you said she overwhelmed the bear so if that was what happened then that means she was too much for the bear to handle.
I visited the Sankebetsu attack site last summer, its a really beautiful area (the road leading into the abandoned village is now called Bear Road and has cute Japanese cartoon bear signposts all along it!) There is an accurate rebuild of the Oda house you can look inside, the interior was tiny - nowhere to hide when trapped in there with a large brown bear. The rest of the village has now completely returned to nature but you can still see the foundations of all the old buildings along the river. a REALLY eerie place to visit you can definitely feel the bad juju in the air despite the beauty of the place. Thanks for posting this story!
Thank you for your input and recounting of the facts. It is a very interesting occurrence and place
It's ironic; the bear died, but his actions insured that the area would return to nature, and bears, for future generations to come.
Wow, that's cool that you got to visit it. I bet it was eerie.
@@BeRightBack131 yeah it definitely was eerie but such a beautiful location, even now it’s so remote, hard to imagine just how remote it was back in the day. The scariest thing was the huge amount of Japanese hornets that were nesting inside the renovated houses. These hornets are all over Hokkaido and see bears as their only enemy and are triggered to attack brown and black colors so all the farmers here wear lots of neon
@@mattstormont8922 imagine that, some hornets that take in 700 or so pounds bear.
I love these old bear stories , if someone doesn't bring them up , they might be forgotten . Wow , 3000 views in an hour ,, I just knew this channel was going to take off . Another good one Bro !!
Thanks buddy!
Let's help this guy keep growing! Love this channel
I enjoyed seeing how many views this video has gotten too. There’s obviously lots of us fascinated with bears and how dangerous they are. My days in the outdoors, at least very far from the truck are over, but I sure love a good bear story👍🏻🤠
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 - Yes , I understand the not getting far from the truck " days are over" , hahahaha , if I go more than 50ft from the truck , i'll need to take medication and a sandwich with me . But , like you , I love listening to a great bear story as well .. Have a wonderful day Sweet Drahthaar !!
@@jeffo1580 - Agreed Sir .. I'm sharing these videos and telling everyone I talk to , to consider watching this channel .. I think this channel could get real big , the content is already there , all we need now are bodies to watch it
Thank you for this video. In Hokkaido, many bear attacks were recorded since mid-19th century, and this is the most known and most horrific one. Despite that there were bear attacks in which people were killed and eaten, tourists often ignore the warning signs and go close to the bears to take photos or to feed. I am afraid another incident will happen soon.
Its evident that there are large swaths of humanity that aren't very intelligent.
Not surprised. Certain peoples on this earth are extremely fickle when it comes to wild animals and or anything dangerous
It’s spooky how many unobservant/ignorant people, will just walk up to a large wild animal, some are even so unaware, that they try to take ‘selfies’…park rangers here in North America have their hands full, during tourist season…
At least you are aware 👍
Dude, I had no earthly idea of the number of bear attacks that happen ever year! Your commentary clearly point out the harshness of these attacks and the level of caution people should take when in the vicinity of a wild animal. Thanks for sharing.
I live in the state of Colorado USA and back in 2016 had a nice bear surprise. While at my friend's cabin in the gore range, we went out hiking in a meadow where we had seen a good size cinnamon phased black bear the prior evening. We saw scat and muddy prints in the soft mud. Then I spotted a Aspen scratching post. I'm 5'11 and with my arm fully stretched out I was still a good 3 to 4 feet below the claw marks in the bark.The penetration of the claws into the bark was unreal. I know Aspen is a soft wood but the marks were well past the bark and into the wood. I always think about how easily a swipe by that bear could shread a human. My friend and I think that them fresh marks in the tree were from a much bigger bear than the one we had seen. I still have the pictures of the scratches into the tree.
@@DavidSmith-tu1nd .. I'm thinking, if you shoot that bear, better follow it and make sure it's dead, so this kind of thing doesn't happen again.
@@becca318 My friend and I didn't shoot a bear. We saw the cinnamon phased one in the evening. Then the next day we went up looking for it and found the high scratch marks on the Aspen tree. That had to be from a much larger bear because they were so high.
@@DavidSmith-tu1nd .. I was speaking of the guy in the first story, he should have finished the job.
I know
I never would have guessed brown bears lived in Japan, that's wild
THIS is where the legend of monsters come from!! Its where it all started. Wild beastly animals like this. Imagine how scary it must have been to live in a time where not a lot was known about them, for them to be in such abundance (before the times of parties going out to actively hunt them), and not having a strong brick house to protect you and your family. Wow.
Imagine the indians living in tepees
They probably knew them better than we do
You can still see these monsters in southeast Alaska ..try a salmon river in July
@@jeremykoons4828 I know, thats one place we haven't succeeded in wiping them out. I'd love to visit wild, beautiful Alaska. Would love seeing the bears...from a distance.
This is the trip that you have ben waiting for..try cooper's landing...in July..get a cabin if your scared of the bears.. this should put u on the fish...but be warned if the fish are there so are the grizzlies...
That is a terrifying almost unbelievable story! And what a bumbling group of hunters!
Sounds like they were drunk
Why didn't they plant a slab of a stinky carcass of a pig or something somewhere to lure him in so they were all in a position to kill him. Maybe the bear was drunk. He sure acted erratically, going on his frenzied killing spree!
This bear needed to go
Those hunters should be flogged!
This sounds like a terminator bear. Like straight out of an anime. Exaggerated story in my opinion
This story would be better with slower delivery pace because there are so many details. It's a truly incredible story and a miracle it was recorded in such detail
It's the internet.
@FPVquadGuy You are your own Outer Limits. You control the playback speed. You control the screen size. You control the resolution. You control the volume. You even control the content you see. If you don't like one, go find another.
ya he coulda made a 30 minute thriller with this one.
I slowed it to 50% speed and got everything out of it. Try it if you can.
Holy Moly that's so frightening! Just imagine how terrifying that would have been for all involved..
It appears that the bear was below average looking for a bear. Early teasing by peers could partially explain his depraved behavior.
Hearing this story of a man eating animal, reminded me of two African lions referred to as the ghost and the darkness. These two lions killed over 100 people during the construction of the trans continental railway in Africa. They would often drag workers out of their tents at night and eat them. If I remember correctly , it took multiple professional Hunter's to kill the beast's.
They made a movie called Ghost and the Darkness
They were known as the man eaters of Tsavo. True story, except they were a pair of males without manes. They are on display at the Field Museum in Chicago.
@@dawndickson3323 really? I've been to the field museum once, I didn't know they were there.
As a kid I was with my family at the Great Smoky Mountains having a cook out and a bear came up to us. Everybody jumped in the car, but I was trying to get the bear to come get a bite of food from me. My grandfather jumped out and got me in the car.
Lol close call!
Good reaction, ever any bear close the humans because they hunger for food
Bears are probably one of the scariest potential predator out there because they don't kill you them eat you. They pin you down and start eating you alive.
Nobody gon talk about how the lady begged the bear to leave her son n eat her and the damn bear LISTENED ! Like what ??!
@Random that's right! Bears only speak russian.
This needs to be made into a movie!
If done correctly, it could be on par with films such as The Ghost and the Darkness
I was thinking about those lions the entire video
A movie NO! NO! NO! All are the same! NO one hunting the bear couldn't shoot a gun. A whole line of men,I suppose all had a gun,but all failed to hit a vital spot on a bear half the size of a horse! I rest my case. The Man Eaters of Tsavo is the book you referred to.
Great phuckin movie!!
I believe there is a documentary on his life out there.
Actually there is a movie about this Incident,it’s called Yellow Fangs from 1990
A skiing climbing buddy of mine who worked in
Glacier national park Montana for 15 years …
Once told me … that if people actually knew how many Griz were in that park …
They’d never get out of the car …
Exactly
1 billion grizzlies in that single loacation.
600 billion bears in the world
More like hundreds in Glacier National Park and millions around the world..
One thing I notice, with all the bear attack stories I've heard, is the bear is always under estimated.
Recently, in my own home town, I was walking my dog on my street when a black bear walked out of the woods and crossed less than 50yrds from me. I saw the bear and froze. The bear did not see me, my dog (a cane corso) didn't see the bear. If the bear had seen us and charged, it could have been on us in 3 seconds.
In every case, the people I spoke to afterwards including the police entirely dismissed the concern I had. Only the DEC listened to me, then stated there had been several bear sightings on my street, including a different bear was hit and killed by the train running parallel next to my road, less than a week prior to my sighting!!
This story is very unfortunate and I wish had never happened to such nice humble people.
Note: The area the bear was headed into had been recently cleared of nearly all trees preparing for development.
My personal theory is, the bear was following a large family of turkeys which had been hanging out next door to me and recently were seen moving off towards the area the bear I saw was headed.
Great point
Bears usually avoid humans . If humans are in their territory, humans need to be careful
A black bear won’t hurt you lol
@STRONGEST NATTY IN THE WORLD. he may have seen a small black bear but that animal wouldn't & doesn't attack humans. 50 yards and 3 seconds? Well, that is at least embellishment for a better story. He doesn't say where he lives and usually when people tell tall tales they leave out specifics.
Lying? Maybe he saw a small black bear. More likely just making the story sound more scary than it was. YT comments are often told from emotion, not evidence. For instance, how does he know they were such "humble people?" We know nothing about these people.
@@andraeadewaele4808 they can and have killed humans. I'm sry you feel that way
I've had black bear come around my house every year often different ones
I am very safe and careful. Still thy could attack without provocation.. you need to investigate black bear attacks and fatal black bear attacks and you WILL. See how wrong you are . Just informing you..
That story would make for a good movie. It’s sad that they couldn’t stop the bear before it killed so many people. Amazing story.
I found your channel few days ago and watched few of your videos and was just about to comment to do video on sankebetsu bear and now you did it. Keep up the good work man
That bear was stealthy, acting more like a lion. He must've been very hungry, and angry being awake in the middle of winter.
May all his victims continue to rest in peace. 😢🙏❤️
No, it was acting like a Bear, not a lion
A brown bear is far far far more dangerous than a lion
These victims were the people who moved from southern parts of Japan to settle into the area and probably didn't know much about their new environment. Therefore, they were probably easy meal and this bear knew it.
They really were left rest in pieces if you think about it
@@benjamindillard2391 hell no lions and tigers are far more dangerous then brown bears u have way more of a chance to survive a bear attack then a lion attack
This sounds like a bear version of ghost in the darkness
I feel for friends and family of all these stories but... I appreciate you posting these
stories as many people think that bears are gentle giants. There are so many who die or are mangled from bears.
And don't try to ride on a bear. Boy was that a mistake. Just looked like 450 pounds of fluff until landing on it. Anyway. Don't get close and no riding bears.
Being eaten alive by a bear and burning in a fire are definitely the 2 worst ways to go.
I agree Kenneth, being burned is my worse fear due to the outrageous degree of pain, but we can add a 3rd way; being devoured by a Great White has to be up there too. Did you see the clip of the poor swimmer that was eaten by the Great White Shark last Wednesday in Australia? Brutal!!!!
th-cam.com/users/shortsxW0k9m6FhPA
Add being eaten alive by a great white shark to the list, too!
@@christopherlittle579 I think you’d drown before you get torn apart by a shark. A grizzly or polar bear will just hold you down and rip chunks off at a time.
Hey what about the guy that got eaten by that shark in Australia that's the hell way to go to don't you think
Sorry about the prior release. Still learning my tech :)
Any chance you could stop google earth from zooming in automatically? It makes the earth turn too fast, starting from an irrelevant place, and then zooms in too fast, so we don't really get a sense of the region. You have plenty of time to set the scene up and give us a good look at the relevant parts of the map and zoom in slower so it makes more sense. Instead, have the zone in question already be center of screen, and zoom in manually. For example, when the narration mentions Japan, show Japan. When the narration mentions Island of Hokkaido, highlight Hokkaido and zoom in further. I think every viewer would notice an improvement in production.
Wow, what a cluster... Many mistakes were made that gave the intelligent bear a distinct advantage.
It was not thought out, 50 men go with guns and people in their houses were unnamed. The Bear breaks into houses, and what do you know a house broken into and unarmed people killed.
This reminds me of the Ghost in the Darkness story. There is just something so terrifing about being hunted by a wild predator and then you add the fact of it not being in a modern time . . . ..shivers
It must be terrifying also to be just peacefully living your life in the woods and suddenly being slammed by bullet after bullet as you stagger with confusion and pain before collapsing and dying, all because some macho trophy hunter wanted to brag that he had killed a bear. I'm just saying humans kill THOUSANDS of wild animals a year for the sheer thrill of it, but when an animal kills a human, how DARE it. Nothing against what YOU said at all, and you were spot on. Those women had absolutely horrible last moments. Just most of these stories stem from people invading the bear's home first, like they have more of a right to be there than the bear, acting completely stupid, then crying victim when there's a bear attack. Ya know?
@@MsAggie78 Depends on the time period. At one point in time bears and humans shared the same land, no permanent settlements existed. So fair game. Do you know chimps will form raid parties and kill and eat monekys alive and screaming. They don't do it for food as they can survive mainly on fruit and insects. Its for the bloodlust- where do you think we inherited it from. Did you know orca whales will 'play' with a seal until it's dead, not bothering to consume it. It also must be terrifying to be new born/youngster and an adult male comes and kills you and all your siblings just to force your mother into heat. Nature is brutal- how do think the average animal dies in the wild? They suffer greatly, either they are eaten alive or starve to death very slowly - I would prefer a bullet. FYI the fees and licenses hunters have to pay do more for wildlife protection than anything combined.
@@ChicoDusty nature is very very cruel and it is not the exception. And where do you think that kind of nature came from?
@@jasguy2715 your mom?
@@ChicoDusty I don't know if you're being nasty and disrespectful or you're asking a legitimate question and my mother is dead by the way! No I wasn't thinking about a person's mother!
I remember this story. Absolutely horrific and terrifying.
Me 2
@@yuma9663 yeah that one was awful 2
The way the story really happened is as follows. The clever bear simply pointed in the other direction each time the hunting party got close and yelled, " Look Godzilla", which completely stopped the Japanese in their tracks, allowing him to casually stroll to his next victim.
🤣
Lol
from wikipedia
Ōkawa Haruyoshi, who was seven years old and the son of the Sankebetsu village mayor at the time of the incident, grew up to become a prolific bear hunter. He swore an oath to kill ten bears for every victim of the attack. By the time he reached the age of 62, he had killed 102 bears. He then retired and constructed the Bear Harm Cenotaph (熊害慰霊碑, Yūgai Ireihi), a shrine where people can pray for the dead villagers.

Rambear: they kept pushing on me.
Col Trautman: well, you did some pushing of your own, Rambear.
Rambear: they drew first blood, not me.
It's over Yogi, it's *over* !
Bears, like the rest of the wild animals, should be admired, respected and hopefully kept a safe distance away.
If only Timothy Treadwell had heeded your advice.
@@sirquentincrispy1071 The Bears said during an interview that Treadwell and his girlfriend tasted like chicken.
@Bob DePlachett Would love to see the video.
Unless their breaking into your house
How about the bear respect people dwellings also. Cross my dwelling I'm a rain down on their funky azz with no remorse.
Around this time, I think the Japanese Govt was promoting settlers and homesteaders up in the northern island of Hokkaido, which is still, to this day, sparsely populated in most places outside Sapporo. So I think these were probably transplants from crowded main islands and not natural, rugged frontiersmen, which may be why they were initially incompetent in dealing with it. The Ainu people of Hokkaido probably knew how to handle a rogue bear.
that would make sense. the bear hunter dealt with the bear in the end.
i think a good example today would be experienced woodsmen in alaska today vs new people from a city.
its normal for people to have large rifles and handguns when going out and about espicially in the woods.
A great lesson in bringing enough gun, and being marksman enough to place your shot well !
This story was the inspiration of the main villain of the manga series Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, who is a killer bear.
I grew up with the manga series and was terrified when i learned about this true story when the author told of his inspirations. Was scared of bears for years after, and still am wary whenever i walk in remote areas.
Absolutely horrifying how the bear came back again and again to kill people. I hope the victims can rest in peace and incidents like this aren't forgotten.
The loss of life was tragic, of course. But this is one of those stories, which reinforce the conclusion that we really do need to start routinely applying the term intelligence, to other earthly lifeforms because, in its strategising, that bear demonstrated abilities beyond that possessed by most humans.
butwhatdoiknow
I didnt even know japan had bears of any kind . Interesting story.
I am deeply touched at the bravery of all who stood up to this animal. The history of humans, homesteading in areas they no nothing about, should be told to every first time homesteader.
Are you deeply touched how humans have pillaged nature and deaths ecosystem ?
749 lb bear 🐻, that's considerably larger than the current celebrity bear, Hank the Tank from Lake Tahoe.
Frank's a black bear but. 500 for a black bear is fng huge. 750 pound for a brown boar wouldn't be that far above average I'd imagine.
How about Bart the bear
California used to have grizzly bears e
Bears are only allowed one human per season when they pull a tag. What the hell.
When you think you’re safe in your home
The bear roar and scroll across the screen at the beginning gets me every time!
Best fairytale I’ve heard in a long time. You had me at your own disclaimer that it’s BASED on real events.
Thank you for introducing this famous incidents 100 years or so ago. This one is said to be the worst bear attack in Japan. (There are some confusions about the facts. Attack on the night December 9, the young victim, Mikio, wasn't an infant but a 6-year-old boy, who was going to be adapted in Ota family.)
I see. That poor child.
@@twostop6895 Please be the first to offer yourself up to the Bears.
😭😭😭thats so sad
And the morale of this story is, if you have to shoot a bear, make sure you kill it. This Bear was shot and wounded and left to die, but sadly took revenge on all humans he came across. Very sad for all, including the 🐻
Heard this story before, but always like to listen to it. One of the craziest bear story fo sure, this bear was a real men eater.
Maybe a bit incompetent with firearms, but boy, they sure were expert with a camera. What an unbelievable photo from 1915...
Yes, bears are vengeful animals, as crazy as it seems. If you wound a bear, he will come back for you.
Wouldn’t U! I know I wound.
I think in all actuality, the largest animal Wilma Flintstone here has ever bagged, was an aging slow ground squirrel.
@@wilmamcdermott3065 only a coward would shoot an animal with a high powered weapon in it's own habitat, use a bow and arrow and spears Rambo.
Nothing to do with a vengeful animal but a injured animal. As soon as a predator is injured and cannot hunt by itself, human civilisation becomes an attractive pole because of "easy food" perspective. The bear doesn't want a revenge, he only wants to eat and survive. As he cannot hunt a wild prey, he's back in the village to find food and humans become preys.
We have to stop thinking animals want revenge, it's a human emotion, an animal has only instinct that guide him, as protection, predation, survival etc. This bear was injured, under a big physical pain for sure, unable to hunt wild preys, that's why he comitted so many attacks. Hollywood movies show a very wrong image of wild predator as bears, wolves or sharks. In realily, a predator is only guided by his instinct, revenge isn't one of them in anyway !

My nightmare in the wild = Bears on land and Sharks in the water
I have been searching for a cool channel like this for some time. Well done, liked and subbed.
I used to work for the government. One of my duties was to inspect radio towers. I was looking for one among a bunch of towers on a mountain top. As I walked across an open area surrounded by hip high bushes, a mother black bear and two cubs walked out into the opening 50 feet from me. We all stopped and stared at each other for about 30-45 seconds. Then the bears continued their walk into the bushes on the other side of the opening.
I suddenly realized I needed to go back to my vehicle and leave!
Another day, I was looking for a different radio tower on a different mountain top. I found it standing next to a small building housing the transmitter and receiving equipment. As I got close to the building surrounded by brush, small trees and fallen trees, I saw a huge hornet nest on the side of the building with hornets flying in and out. That was another time I decided it was wiser to leave than inspect the tower.
I looked down to my feet to be sure that I could walk back to my vehicle without tripping and found I was standing right next to a pile of very fresh bear poop. It was still moist! I looked everywhere for the bear as I carefully stepped over fallen trees and around bushes going back to my vehicle to leave. Never did see that bear. Never saw any bear poop that fresh either!
Never lock.eyes with a bear...they take that as a threat
I would've left that job real fast!!
What a good shot, right in the heart.
How sad that bears are not friendly at all they look so cute and fluffy.
This honestly sounds like the plot to a horror movie! Simply thrilling story!
If you want to kill a bear you have to make sure of it being dead for good - otherwise it might have no choice in its state of starvation but to turn on the weakest and slowest living being it can get its hands on, consider humans an easy prey. Injured big cats might develop the same streak of "nastyness" towards humans.
Steve on his how to hunt channel says a wounded grizzly will always attack the hunter whereas black bears and other prey will run from humans. They're so fast he says to go down on one knee or the bullet will go over the top...
Exactly despite our guns we humans are truly pathetic helpless creatures. And we can’t stand a taste of our on medicine. A bear can take a .44 to the face a human can’t even take a .22 to the leg. If we were not so pathetic we could have been the true rightful rulers of the world not a bunch of little maggots who rule from behind a wall of technology. It’s really sad. This world was destroyed not by our power but by or worthless bodies.
It's amazing how ferocious and deadly a bear can be.....truly an alpha predator and near the top of the food chain. Sooo many failed attempts to kill the bear....they needed a group of bear hunters.
He was crazy about the pain.
Anyone who goes into the wild without any bear attack preventative gear literally is looking to sacrifice themselves as a meal
Just found your channel! I’m obsessed with shark, crocodile, alligator and of course bear attacks. It’s just crazy to hear these stories. Great channel! Can’t wait to binge more 🐻
I really appreciate you very much! Welcome aboard and I'll send some more videos out as quick as I can :)
GBecks - how about squirrell attacks? more people are killed by squirrells annually, than all other animals combined. my cousin was attacked and castrated by one; he survived, but is a little lighter...
@@z-z-z-z squirrel = one l
I like the one where there's like only a boot, or a comb left over or something, thanks
It isn't crazy they actually happen they can happen to anyone just appreciate the stories realness thts all
Honestly between bears and chimpanzee attacks . I couldn’t think of a worse way to go. Definitely my biggest fear . Good thing I live in Ireland lol when I watch vids of people hiking in bear country’s I’m like wtf .
Chimps scare the hell out of me, there is definitely no stopping a angry one.🇨🇦
It's best to die by a bear. Aps will torture u till there ready to kill you..
Can't even imagine. Can't even imagine. God bless them.
That picture of the starving bear all skin and bones fills me with terror.
You have a amazing voice! I really enjoy listening to your videos. Thank you!
❤
I live in a country in which we have no bears, & they still terrify me.
Great channel, just subbed 👍🇦🇺
Thank you and welcome aboard my friend!
if so, would they growl with an Aussie accent I wonder? - (I think a roo killed a bear 🐻 one time)
Great channel watched quite a few of your vids in the last couple of weeks.. subscribing now 👍
Thank you very much and I am really glad that you enjoy them :)
Feeding a bear = a dead bear because it then becomes a serious dangerous problem. Though people shouldn’t feed any wild animals period.
What a scary moment. I will never complain about city life again. This bear was intelligent for a bear. I feel like it could have been a vengeful spirit in the form of a bear. I mean the whole story with the pregnant woman and the bear didnt touch her baby seems like it understood. It's really sad that so many people especially children were killed this way. The poor people. I'm never going camping. I've watched too many of these videos with bears,deer,buck, bobcatsand many other animals you would expect to see but not want to run into. I don't even feel confident driving on random trips anymore. Why? Bc if we break down we have to walk and we don't know what type of wildlife is out there.
This was truly a horrific story and I got so caught up in it that I was rooting for this one and that one. Reminds me of the tale of the giant tiger who killed over 400 people before it was overtaken.
The Champawat Tigress, while physically healthy, aside from badly damaged teeth, was not a "giant." She was about the average size for a female Bengal Tiger.
@@SamuelJamesNary No kidding. Got it mixed up with another one then. There was a story proving that tigers that go after humans are physiologically different than ordinary tigers. The Champawat! I also think she was well loved by everyone, and people put out small animals tied to trees for her to easily kill and eat when she got old. Then they found out that she already was supplying herself with food!
@@annettegenovesi - If you're reading into Corbett's "the Maneaters of Kumaon," the giant that Corbett killed was the Bachelor of Powalgarh who was a massive male Tiger, who because of his size became something of a desired trophy for white hunters and object of fear among the local population. For while the Bachelor had no record of attacking people, he was big enough that they feared him eating their cattle which would then mean that the killing of the Bachelor was more out of fear of POSSIBLE attacks.
And no... the people in Nepal and India did not purposely leave out livestock for the Champawat Tigress to eat, nor did they see her as a friend. In fact, when Corbett arrived in the area, he found that the residents of the villages were terrified beyond belief, and the sister of one of the Tigress's victims had gone mute from the shock of her sister's death and didn't regain her voice until AFTER Corbett had killed the Champawat Tigress.
The tigress that was beloved and feed was Machli, the Queen of Ranthambore, which is much further south in India than where Champawat is. Though much of the feeding of Machli came because of Machli's character had won a lot of fans that didn't want to lose her... which then kept the Park Rangers looking after her until she died of old age in 2016, at one of the oldest wild tigers ever. And there has been no record of Machli ever killing people. The highlight, and what won her so many fans is that she often used the tourist jeeps for cover to go after deer. In this, Machli seemed to like to be on camera.
As for tiger psychology... that's been something that was more noted from an incident in Russia which is posted on the "Scary Animal Attacks" channel in which a Siberian Tiger was shot and wounded by a Russian poacher and then took his revenge on him and any other human he could get his claws into. It's something that could mean that tigers bear grudges. And some of this could possibly apply to the Champawat Tigress as the damage to her teeth was done by a low muzzle velocity gun shot that struck her in the muzzle and damaged to two canines. Thus, she may have equated humans with the injury and bore that grudge until Corbett killed her.
Though... with tigers, it should be noted that grudges against humans isn't the prime reason for turning maneater. What most scientists and naturalists have commented as what has driven most tigers to turn maneater comes to old age and/or injury, and not all injuries were inflicted by man.
@@SamuelJamesNary Whoa Sam. Thank you for your amazing information about my favorite animal. But - slow processor here, so it'll take me a little while to "study" all you have written, at which time I shall send you thoughts/questions about it. Also I want to go to my "source" and reread what I have read.
@@SamuelJamesNary Yes, though I read that after being injured in the mouth she could no longer hunt for big tough animals so was forced to go after much easier humans.
I always have a gun on me at all times. While in the woods 306 and a 7mm.. at home I have a 44 mag, ar 15 custom.. You never know. I always go by that quote: expect the unexpected.
First being raised in a japenese home. I appreciate your knowledge on pronouncing terms second it sounds to me as bears like this are commonly known or referred to as the 25ths. As you know many state the 25ths are the most aggressive dominant adults in a bear population or they say. It is my thoughts that all animals domesticated or wild should be respected for their natural instinct. They say you can never tame a animal due to natural instinct but they can be conditioned to perform or to do specific task but taming is out of the question period. I strongly believe that with all animals alike.
Thank you very much and I did work hard on those pronunciations :) I completely agree with you. Most runnings with bears and completely harmlessly With both parties going on their own ways peacefully.
How do you feel about domesticated animals such as dogs cats etc?
@@ethanhacking4075 my cat is doing a good job of hiding it. 😂 I think she has trained and domesticated me 😂she certainly seems happy when she rolls on her back and purrs while I scratch her belly or when she tapes at her bowl with her paws and meows at me until I give her seafood.
@@ethanhacking4075 i feel the same way about domesticated animals. The animals can be "conditioned" to be docile and "conditioned" to do certain task or even tricks that naturally they would not do however again I feel the "conditioning" is not "taming" for domestic animals, those taken from the wild or even captive born or hatched exotic animals even. A person can condition a animal but never "tame taking away their natural instinct" . Hope that helps on my outlook.
@@matthewcullen1298 😂 lolol
Wow what a scary story. Rest in Peace to the victims! Thanks for sharing the story and may God bless and comfort the victims families.
Thank you!
Damn. Documentary needed !
It seems the "bear was thinking of people as a food source before it broke into the cabin."
That's a scary bear. If you want crazy listen to the stories about Jim Corbett hunting man eating tigers and leopards. He killed cats that have killed 400 people.
What a true life Hero Jim Corbett was
@Chin Chin He was a brave man who lived a hard life. He spent a lot of time walking through forests in India, hunting man eaters. I like hearing the stories.
@@vCLOWNSHOESv He didn't kill his first maneater until he was in his late 60s trekking for days sleeping in trees some feat for a guy his age
@@chinchin6115 He killed things all over the world.
Jim corbett
Moral of the story... If a hungry bear breaks into your food stores, don't make it personal.
😅
You did a good job with this video🙏 Thanks subbed!
I appreciate you!
Thank you Scary Bear Attacks.🐻
My pleasure!
How incompetent are these hunters? How did they ever survive with such poor planning and shooting?
Maybe it is just a an old story read by a gaijin?
I thought the same thing! Almost sounds like a joke.
I live in Northern Alberta, Canada. Lots of black bear and grizzly. We take bear aware courses for work. Been charged but never had one get me yet.
Always carry bear spray
@@ji3200 Practice on treadmill so you can out run coworkers:)
This channel hits different after dark
Lol especially when you are camping
I love how bears wiggle their noses like "I'm going to eat you."
Unless you were the prey.
I had no idea Japan was home to large brown bears. I bet they're almost extinct now or sadly gone for ever.
I live outside of Seattle, the Cascade Mountain Range is a very, very popular hiking area. Beautiful place to go, the Pacific Crest Trail is well used. The powers to be seam to believe that it would be great to reintroduce Grizzly bears from Canada to the North Cascade area. It will only be a short time when you will hear crap like this happening in Washington.
That's exactly what I have heard as well! Here in Boise Idaho I can go one hour North into the mountains and they've already reported a sow and 2 cubs there that have moved from Yellowstone. If the rule is if there's a sow there's a boar. That means the central part of Idaho is filled with grizzlies and nobody really even knows it.
I go hiking around Washington and Oregon quite often by myself. If that’s true ..
Turn them loose on Seattle's homeless population.
I know
@@scarybearattacks thats scary
It is like grandpa telling me the story in the middle of the night when it is full dark and voices whispering in the ear out of fear 😂😂
I love this channel bro Keep on keeping on kid
Thanks buddy and I appreciate you watching! Take care!
If the picture is correct, the Bears jaw/mouth appears to be damaged?🤔 this could make hunting difficult for it...
It happened in 1915, so probably not a picture of that bear.
