Hotel staff encounters wandering bear
A brown bear was found in a five-star luxury hotel in Sochi, Russia. The bear entered a service room, then wandered through the hallways before leaving the hotel on its own, with no injuries reported among staff or guests. Incidents of bears approaching humans near tourist facilities in the area are increasing, with Sochi National Park recording about 14 cases in 2024. The number has risen significantly, becoming roughly four times higher in 2025 and 2026, with around 150 cases reported in the first five months of 2026. This phenomenon has raised concerns about the growing interaction between bears and local residents, especially as their numbers near tourist areas continue to rise.
