Cub

A two-month-old lion cub was found in a car by police on Aug. 23, in the Cizre district of the southeastern province of Şırnak, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.

Security teams were conducting searches inside a car at a road checkpoint when they found the lion cub inside.

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. 

Greek bear conservation group Arcturos has launched a public appeal to gather funds to help treat a brown bear cub that was injured in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) last month. Ushko, the 5-month old male cub, in question is being treated at Arcturos’s Forina sanctuary in Northern Greece. The cub has a broken pelvis as it was possibly hit by a car.

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.
