In 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture of Peru received complaints about Andean bears’ livestock attacks in central Peru. The ministry contacted our Andean bear research group to confirm these events. Already in the area, traces of the presence of Andean bear (e.g., as hair and feces) were found within grazing areas, and 13 cattle carcasses, some of them with evidence of consumption by bear. Although not conclusive, the condition of a corpse also suggested predation by bear. Even though we could not confirm bear attacks, we did confirm that they were involved in livestock feeding incidents (e.g., scavenging). Finally, we point out the importance of quick responses to reduce human-bear conflicts. Key words: Andean bear predation, human-predator conflicts, natural protected area, Peruvian Andes, Tremarctos ornatus . RESUMEN En 2015 el Ministerio de Agricultura de Peru recibi denuncias sobre ataques a ganado por parte de oso andino en el centro del Peru. El ministerio contacto con nuestro grupo de investigacion de oso andino para confirmar estos sucesos. Ya en el area encontramos rastros (ej. pelos y heces) de la presencia de oso andino dentro de zonas de pastoreo, asi como 13 cadaveres de ganado, algunos de ellos con evidencias de consumo por oso. Aunque no fue concluyente, la condicion de un cadaver tambien sugeria depredacion por oso. A pesar de que no pudimos confirmar los ataques por oso, si confirmamos que estaban involucrados en incidentes de alimentacion con el ganado (ej. carroneo). Palabras clave: Andes peruanos, area natural protegida, conflictos humano-depredadores, depredacion del oso andino, Tremarctos ornatus.
