(Newser) – A brown bear invaded one of Japan’s largest cities Friday, storming through a military base and airport, before it was shot and killed. Four people were injured by the bear, which was spotted running through residential neighborhoods and scaling fences in Sapporo on the northern island of Hokkaido. „Given that it is the breeding season right now, it’s highly conceivable that the male was chasing after a female bear, and in the process wandered into a residential area,“ Shinsuke Koike, a bear expert at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, tells the Washington Post.
