Bear recovering after 'world first' brain surgery

Two-year-old Boki has made history as the first brown bear on record to undergo life-saving brain surgery.

Boki was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. His seizures had worsened, and with medication no longer controlling his symptoms, it became clear that surgery was needed to ensure his survival through the winter.

Boki is now recovering after the 5 hour procedure.
