A farmer in northwestern Greece was confronted with a shocking sight: three of his sheep mauled to death, their demise unequivocally attributed to a bear. The grim discovery underscores the increasingly frequent presence of these once-rare predators in the region.
Anastasios Kasparidis found large paw prints confirming the attack. “It was a bear, a very big one, and they come often now. I wasn’t the only one; it struck elsewhere, too,” he recounted, noting another farmer had lost chickens and pigs.
