Residents in northwestern China have recently reported multiple cases of Tibetan brown bears appearing in their local areas, attacking people, killing livestock, and damaging houses.
Villagers and herders in Tibet and China’s northwestern Qinghai Province are the main victims of bear attacks, as their habitats often overlap with those of Tibetan brown bears.
