At about 10:30 a.m. on May 3, 1991 80 year old Mr.OOE was attacked by a sole black bear Ursus thibetanus in national forest in Togouchi, Hirosima, and injured on the left leg and right side of the head. The causes of bear attacks on humans are divided into three areas, i. e. to eat, to drive away and for sport or excitement. The motive for the attack in this incident seems either to drive the person away or to have sport with him. People entering bear habitat should carry a sound-making instrument, and a hatchet for self-protection.
