According to Japanese media such as FNN Prime Online, a bear about 1m in size was filmed attacking a male deer from behind on the national road in Lauscho, eastern Hokkaido, at around 10 a.m. on the 27th.
A witness who filmed it inside the car said the bear bit the deer's neck and dragged him toward the forest.
The bear was reportedly killed by a funny photo who was dispatched after receiving a report.
The road leads to Shiretoko Pass, a tourist attraction, and is frequently used by tourists and riders.
Police and authorities urged residents to pay attention to 10 private houses near the area, about 50 meters away.
In response to an example of a bear attacking a deer in a place where people pass by, experts explained that "summer is a season when brown bears lack food, and it is possible that they attacked the deer to eat them."
An expert said "Deer and brown bear populations have increased recently, and such cases can often be seen in the future." he estimated.
Recently, there have been a series of reports of the appearance of bears in Hokkaido.
A broadcaster's camera captured a bear eating watermelons and melons planted in a vegetable garden in Kaminokuni-cho, southern Hokkaido, early on the 25th, and a newspaper delivery man in his 70s was attacked by a bear and killed in Fukushima-cho.
