Russian Bears Snacking on Corpses
Due to a harsh food shortage Russian bears have been unable to find enough of their traditional berries, mushrooms, frogs, and fish to keep them going. These hungry bears have taken matters into their own hands and turned to digging up and snacking on human corpses. In the village of Vezhnya Tchova near the Arctic Circle two women caught a ghoulish grave robbing bear mid-dinner.
“From a distance it resembled a rather large man in a fur coat, leaning tenderly over the grave of a loved one. But when the two women in the Russian village of Vezhnya Tchova came closer they realised there was a bear in the cemetery eating a body.”
This has happened before in the area and residents recounted tales of how one bear not only learned how to open coffins, but then proceeded to teach the others.
It is unknown at this point in time if the recent shortage of food is related to the invasion and ongoing war between bears and yetis.
