The distance of 140 kilometers between the mainland coast and Wrangel Island was crossed by a young brown bear. The animal was noticed by employees of the reserve of the same name. According to scientists, this is the first appearance of a predator in the territory where polar bears are common.
The unusual swimmer stunned fishermen who said they have never seen bears venturing so far out to sea.
Bears in the Far East of Russia have become extremely aggressive searching for food. Experts say the number of bear attacks on humans this year is 'unprecedented.'
