Brown bears starved in northern wilderness of Shiretoko.

Brown bears starved in northern wilderness of Shiretoko. Last August, because of intense summer heat, pink salmon did not swim upstream in rivers in far northern Japan as they usually do. The fish arrived a month later when temperatures had cooled somewhat. This was bad news for brown bears that inhabit Shiretoko. Asahi Shimbun
