KUANTAN: A distressing video shared on Facebook yesterday captured a bear writhing in pain on the East Coast Expressway 2 (LPT2) near Kuantan.
The animal appeared to have been struck by a vehicle, struggling to stand and likely injured.
Khairul Nizam, an eyewitness who posted the video, initially mistook the large creature for a motorcyclist.
Upon closer inspection, he realised it was a bear in distress.
He promptly contacted LPT2 authorities to dispatch a patrol to the scene.
Terengganu Perhilitan director Loo Kean Seong later confirmed that six Perhilitan officers arrived at 1.30pm to search for the bear, but it was not found.
