Memo to Kashmiri Militants: Don't Hide in Bear Caves

A bear mauled two Muslim separatists after finding them in its den, the BBC reports. Turns out civil strife is actually good for wildlife: 

Wildlife experts say the conflict in Kashmir has actually resulted in an increase in the population of bears and leopards.

Following the outbreak of the insurgency people had to hand in their weapons to police - which put a halt to poaching.

As a result, there has been a greater incidence of man-animal conflict, say experts.

There have been many reports of bears and leopards killing or mauling humans in different parts of the Kashmir valley in recent years.
