Tiny Survivor: Adorable Orphan Cub, Alone in the Wild, Finds Comfort in a Bottle, Prepares for Journey to New Rescue Centre

An adorable bear cub who was found lost in the wilderness without his mother by a Turkish rescue centre in Hakkari is preparing to be moved to a new home.

The baby bear, called ‘Hakvan’, was pictured guzzling from a milk bottle after his rescue but he is now being prepared for a move to a bear sanctuary in Bursa after being cared for in Hakkari.

After being separated from its mother in Hakkari, Turkish rescue workers brought the bear cub to Van on April 19 for treatment, feeding Hakvan every three hours and keeping him under supervision.

Hakvan was given a mixture of milk, antibiotics and honey to treat him when he became lost in the area – even saying that the bear had become the mascot of the 14th Regional Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks.

Professor Lokman Aslan, the director of the center, told reporters: We take care of the bear cub like a baby. We took care of it from the starter food to its current state.

‘Now it has passed the stage of eating solid food . It has become able to feed on its own. It is a kindergarten for maMMAls up to a certain stage. He completed the nursery and special care services, that is, he became a kindergarten student.

‘After that, he has to live in a private area. Therefore, we reported the necessary reports to the 14th Regional Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks. He will continue his life in the bear shelter in Bursa from now on.

Now he is eating solid food, he is being prepared for his move.
