Bears

In October Boki became the first brown bear in the world to undergo brain surgery for hydrocephalus.

The 81-year-old man said he had no choice but to shoot the animal after it attacked him during a hunt.

Newsreel footage from 1960 shows cubs Aurora and Polaris playing in their enclosure at Whipsnade.

Around a quarter of the country's brown bears will be culled after a man was attacked in a forest.

The head of bears at Wildwood Trust says it is a "remarkable recovery" but is "still early days".
