Apparently there is still a brown bear around Lenggries.
Paw prints have now been reported to the State Office for the Environment.
Lenggries – Experts clearly assigned the footprints to a bear, as announced by the State Office for the Environment.
The trail from the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district was reported on July 29.
Sighting not far from where the bear appeared ten days ago
The bear track was discovered not far from the spot where a bear had walked into a camera trap about ten days earlier.
The Bavarian State Forests had hung up the wildlife camera in the area south of federal highway 307 near Lake Sylvenstein to examine damage caused by browsing.
The inclusion of the brown bear was pure coincidence, said forest manager Rudolf Plochmann at the time.

Site searched for genetic material
"The LfU takes every tip about large carnivores seriously and investigates it," said a spokesman.
The place was searched by an expert for traces and genetically usable material.
Three more footprints were found, but no genetically usable material such as feces or hair.
