Just a quick query…does any one have any anecdotal information about sightings of the Formosan black bear? I’ve heard vague reports of sightings in Yushan NP but was wondering if there’s anything more concrete.
Yushan NP just released these videos. So Formosan black bears loves honey and sometimes traverses the river.

You mean the jump bears?
Similar to drop bears but they jump out from the bushes.
Bushes, parked cars, telephone kiosks…we ain’t fussy.
Our chief weapon is surprise…
Back to actual formosan black bears (as opposed to forumosan bears, real and imagined). : P
More sightings recorded in Yushan National Park, especially on the Hualien side:

You ignore jump bears at your own risk, friend.
I try to minimize the risk by avoiding “Anho Road” (ha!) around 3 or 4 AM. : D

When the beer houses were there, it was spelled that way.

While the romanization system has shifted, the services offered on that aptly named road have not.

A bunch of dudes killed a bear and filmed themselves parading it around on their scooters. The bear looks tiny, only slight bigger than cubs.
This is going to be another one of those hunting right battles in the courts and in the public forum I’m sure.
How many inbreds does it take to kill a bear cub?
Were these guys indigenous?
