Excitement in the Tyrolean community of Pfunds at the Supreme Court. A bear was spotted in the area. Images from a wildlife camera show the large predator at night on beehives near a hiking trail.
The municipality of Pfunds warns in the Supreme Court on its homepage about a bear in the area and asks hikers and hikers in the areas of Rauth, Radurschl, Kobl and Wand to pay special attention.
In the MiniFundus-Weg area
“Yes, there is a bear around,” Mayor Melanie Zerlauth told the “Tiroler Krone”. “The animal has now plundered beehives under the MiniFundus trail, a popular hiking trail, twice a night.”
This is proven by a photo taken by a wildlife camera. The municipality has closed the walking path.
The country must decide
“The decision on what to do lies with the state or the BH,” the mayor said. It is theoretically possible to chase the bear away. The Tyrolean Hunting Association has now had DNA samples taken.
An electric fence is intended to protect
The state strongly advised the affected beekeeper to protect the hives with an electric fence. The associated fencing material is provided free of charge.
“There is currently no reason in principle to assume that there is an increased danger to bears in Tyrol,” the state emphasizes. All bears found in Tyrol in recent years showed shy behavior. “The chance of encountering a bear in Tyrol is extremely low,” say those responsible. However, the public is urged to report sightings of large carnivores as soon as possible via the sighting form on the Tyrol website or directly to the responsible district administration.
