Bear sighting at Prem: What is really behind the turmoil?

Bear sighting at Prem: What is really behind the turmoil?

In the night from the 16th to October 17th, soldiers of the Bundeswehr reported on an alleged bear sighting in the southeastern district of Ostallgäu, near the border with the Weilheim-Schongau district. The Federal Environmental Authority immediately carried out a large -scale review of the viewing agency, but could not find any further indications of the presence of a bear - neither step seal nor other traces were found. Thus, the sighting is classified as unconfirmed.

On Thursday, the State Office for the Environment informed about the sighting, which is said to have occurred only about 1000 meters from Prem. A resident reported that soldiers told her about a quick, dark shadow in a group of trees. If it turns out that it was actually a bear, it would be the first confirmed sighting in Bavaria since May 2023. While some residents are concerned, the mayor is relaxed: "The bear is probably far away again." The specialist office for large prey encourages asks the population to report possible information about such animals, while there have already been numerous bear views in Austria.
