A bear, who sensationalized social media for a video showing her passing out from eating too much mad honey, has been named "Balkız," (Honey Girl) by the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry and released to nature.

"The name of our teddy bear is 'Balkız.' Let her live by the name," the ministry tweeted on Aug. 13.

A bear cub which was found by locals in the eastern province of Bitlis' Tatvan district and taken under protection at Van Yüzüncu Yıl University's (YYU) Animal Protection and Rehabilitation Center has been sent to the Karacabey Ovakorusu Bear Shelter and Rehabilitation Center in the northwestern province of Bursa. 

A Russian man had his hand ripped off by a caged bear when he reached the animal to stroke or pat it ignoring his friends’ warnings.

The footage was taken in Murmanskaya Oblast, in the country’s far north west and shows the man screaming out in pain as the bear clamps its teeth around his arm.

A bear cub, which fell from rocks in a forest in the northern province of Karabük, is undergoing treatment. 

Villagers, living in the Kayaarkas? village, had seen the bear cub having difficulty moving and informed the gendarmerie. The gendarmerie protected the cub, which was next to a railway, and waited for officials from the Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks. 

Officers of the Emergency Situations Inspectorate (ISU) captured a bear cub in an uninhabited area, after it ran for several hours on the streets of this city in central Romania.
