The DNA evidence has now been confirmed. The bear, which roamed Salzburg and Bavaria, is also responsible for two sheep killed.
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.
An exchange of samples between the Natural History Museum in Vienna and the Senckenberg Institute now proves that it is the male bear that was hit by a train in May. “Current evidence of a brown bear in Upper Bavaria is not available to the LfU.”
