Over the course of six snowy days, a male Ezo brown bear attacked a number of households, killing seven people and injuring a further three. The incident has been referred to as "the worst animal attack in Japanese history".[3] The attacks ended when the hungry bear, so smart that it started to trick people, was shot dead.[4][5]
