The tracking collar, which was designed to fall off after two years, was found on the side of a cliff in June, the office said, confirming reports that it had lost track of the bear cub.
The cub was rescued in July 2018 by the forest office after it was spotted alone near Nan'an Waterfall in Hualien County by a hiker, who reported that the animal appeared malnourished, according to the Taiwan Black Bear Conservation Association (TBBCA).
At the time, the cub was about four months old and weighed only 5 kilograms, the TBBCA said.
