JEYPORE: Two wild bears were spotted inside the toilet of Mernas UP School under Dahana panchayat, in Nabarangpur on Tuesday. According to sources, a few school staff and students noticed the animals taking shelter in toilet and alerted the other students. Simultaneously, Nabarangpur Forest department was also informed to rescue the animals. 

Soon, a team of forest officials rushed to the spot, rescued both and released them into the wild. ACF Nabarangpur Dhanurjaya Mohapatra informed, “The wild bears were rescued from the school toilet and given a smooth passage to the nearby jungle. Our staff are further monitoring their activities.” 

It is believed that the incessant downpour in Mernas jungle areas might have led the bears to take shelter in the school toilet. A forest team is monitoring their activities to ensure they do not return to the school premises, the ACF added.
