In fact, the point from which the bear left it is in the same position from which the animal had fled last year, in that case climbing over the fence, in a distant point of the fence from the portion where the technical space are located. This time, however, some of the rods of the fence net - 12 mm in diameter - were torn or folded from which he then escaped. Press release (ita)
