TIL - Japan has bears...
"The bear measures about 1 meter in length"
Pretty small for a bear too!
Assuming the other post is right about the species...

Henchman: It's the bat!
No wonder the bear attacked the man. He's so hungry that his belly is even see through.
Big enough to fuck you up.
Japan has moon bears. Black with a crescent of white fur on their neck.
They get bigger than 1 meter, but they usually keep to themselves. And it’s illegal to hunt them(endangered).
Wild boars, on the other hand, are a serious problem in Japan.
I learned that from watching Princess Mononoke.
The supermarket was inside a dog?
