Japan Has a Bear Problem | Flashback Friday

t’s Flashback Friday, and we’re revisiting one of our wildest NEW FEAR UNLOCKED stories: Japan’s terrifying surge in bear attacks. With fatal encounters and maulings hitting record levels, authorities deployed troops to help affected communities - and the danger became common enough to inspire actual bear-attack insurance. Plus, we look at another horrifying encounter involving a grizzly attack on a group of students and their teacher. Turns out the bears may be unlocking some new fears of their own.
