Lost bear cub reunited with mother in NE Turkey

By Veysel Kara

GUMUSHANE, Turkey (AA) – With the help of park rangers, a bear cub in Turkey’s Black Sea region was reunited with its relieved mother after being briefly separated on Thursday.

Visitors to Limni Lake Nature Park on Mt. Zigana in Gumushane, northeastern Turkey came across the brown bear cub wandering alone, forlorn on the side of the road.

The people then sought help from rangers from the Nature Conservation and National Parks Directorate.

After picking up the lost cub, the rangers took it back into the woods, releasing it in a good spot around the range of its mother.

The rangers tracked the cub until they saw it reunited with the mother with their own eyes.
