Researcher Utkarsh Prajapati said that a research, for the first time in the world, shows that the sloth bears have been entering the city from the forest areas. 

Mount Abu is the only city in the country where bears visit searching the trash to eat and hence are getting accustomed to eating this type of food.

Balaji Curry, Deputy Forest Conservator of Forests Department, said that the incidents of bears seen in cities have increased in the last five years, while the incidents of attacks on humans has increased in the last two years. 

Research also revealed that a bear attacks human when suddenly encountered, but the interesting fact is that it’s the women who have been exposed to the highest number of bear attacks. If a woman comes in front of a bear with children, the bear becomes attacking in nature.
