熊陷饑荒 挖墳吃死人

A shortage of traditional food sources has forced bears in Russia's Arctic Circle region to eat human corpses, the Guardian reports. One local said the bears are using graveyards as "giant refrigerators". From a distance, what looked like a rather large man in a fur coat leaning tenderly over the grave of a loved one turned out to be a bear eating a corpse, to the horror of the two women who came across the scene in the village of Vezhnya Tchova. Russian bears have become so desperate for food after a scorching summer that they have started digging up and eating corpses in municipal cemeteries, according to alarmed officials. The bears' traditional food sources?-- mushrooms, berries and frogs?-- have almost completely disappeared, they added.

據英國《衛報》報道，由于傳統食物缺乏，生活在俄羅斯北極圈附近的熊竟然開始吃人的尸體，有當地人甚至戲稱墓地成了熊的大冰箱。一天，溫震亞·托瓦村的兩位婦女發現不遠處有一位體型魁梧、身著毛皮外套的男子溫柔地斜倚在親人的墳墓旁，走近了卻發現原來是一只熊在那里吃尸體！接到報案的俄羅斯官員稱，經歷了一個炙熱的夏天，熊變得饑不擇食，才會跑去挖墳吃尸體。據悉，像蘑菇、漿果、以及青蛙這樣的傳統食物早就被它們吃了個精光。
