(KGTV) - An unusual story you may have seen claims there's a new vending machine that sells bear meat.
It's true.
It's located at a train station in Japan.
The meat is priced at about $17 for a half pound. It comes from bears captured by a local hunting club.
The machine's operators estimate that ten to fifteen packs of bear meat are sold weekly from the grab-and-go vending machine.
This is not the only exotic product available in Japanese vending machines.
In January, a Japanese whaling company reportedly set up three vending machines near Tokyo that disperse whale sashimi, whale bacon, and other whale meat products.
