Official recognition
Finally, the she-bear who attacked and killed 26-year-old Andrea Papi, the runner who he lost his life in the woods of Caldes, in Trentino, while returning from a run. It is not a male specimen, as initially thought, but a female. The animal is known as JJ4, who is 17 years old and who is not new to the news.
The previous
In fact, we need to go back to 2020 when the bear in question was talked about and always in a negative way. JJ4 is in fact the animal that three years ago attacked two people, father and son, on Monte Peller. In that case there was an order for the capture and killing of the wild which the Regional Administrative Court then decided to cancel because the animal had puppies. Then there is another not indifferent detail.
Other details
This bear's radio collar would be dead and therefore unusable. It is one of the oldest specimens in all of Trentino, the daughter of another bear which in 2006 caused extensive damage after being imported from Slovenia a few years earlier. Among the bears defined as "problematic" by the president of the Province of Trento, Maurizio Fugatti, JJ4 had been present for some time.
