Now it’s certain: the bear killed by a train in Salzburg’s Pongau on May 23 killed two sheep shortly before in Berchtesgadener Land in Bavaria.
This was the result of a genetic comparison, the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) announced on Monday. The two dead animals in which the DNA of a brown bear was detected were reported to the office on May 15 from the Berchtesgadener Land is about a male bear hit by a train. “Current evidence of a brown bear in Upper Bavaria is not available to the LfU.”
