From a distance, people thought that it is a gravedigger wearing a fur coat to protect from temperatures extremely cold during this period. Only when they approached, the people of the village realized that Vezhnya Tchova is facing a gruesome picture, a huge brown bear unearthed a corpse to eat it, The Guardian quoting Russian press announced.

WWF announces that Russia is not the only case of its kind, especially the bears are opportunistic and learn very quickly. It was enough that one to discover this new food source for others to join him. The same experts claim that although feed the bears is shrinking by the day, there was still sufficient resources to sustain a population of 140,000 bears. However, the bodies are a convenient source of food, and this is the reason why more and more bears choose this solution.

The only way to defend cemeteries bears is to hire guards and ignite fires every night, say villagers Vezhnya Tchova, especially as Russian laws prohibit the hunting of bears in mating.
