Hunting and Interaction with the Bear among the Even

Kamchatka has a large bear population, and there are specific behavioral rules and defensive measures to follow when encountering bears. Ritual bear hunting once played an important role, particularly during the initiation of young hunters. Today, bear meat serves primarily as a supplementary food for various reasons, although its flavorful fat is still highly valued.

Ритуальная охота на медведя играла важную роль, в том числе при инициации молодого охотника. В наши дни медвежье мясо по разным причинам используется скорее как дополнительный источник пищи, при этом особенно ценится его вкусный жир.</div>\r\n\r\n<div></div>\r\n\r\n<div>Фото: Штеффен Боль</div>\r\n",
