another suspected fatal bear attack, a local official told AFP on Tuesday, as the number of such deaths remains unusually high.<\/p>\n<p> Bear attacks have been on the rise in Japan in recent years, something scientists attribute to a spike in the animals&#8217; population and a declining number of people in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p> Authorities in northern Aomori prefecture said on Monday that a man found dead on a mountain that day may have been attacked by a bear.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Police are still investigating the cause&#8221; of the man&#8217;s death, but bear bite marks had been found on his body, a local official told AFP on Tuesday, not giving his name in line with common practice in Japan.<\/p>\n<p> Fatal maulings in the last three months have jumped fivefold compared to last year, according to government data.<\/p>\n<p> Five people have died due to bear attacks since April, according to separate statistics from the environment ministry.<\/p>\n<p> Publicly available ministry data, dating back to the fiscal year ending March 2018, shows that this year is the first to see more than two deaths in the period from April to June.<\/p>\n<p> A <span class=\"link\"><a

there has been a jump in encounters as the animals emerge hungry from hibernation.<\/p>\n<p> In the year to March, bear sightings nationwide topped 50,000 &#8212; more than double the previous record set two years earlier, according to official data.<\/p>\n<h2>Deadly trend continues<\/h2>\n<p>The apparent attack in Aomori marks the latest example of encroachment by Japan&#8217;s growing bear
