Overview

• Okan, a three-year-old bear weighing about 90 kilograms, developed abdominal pain after overeating seasonal fruit at the Istanbul Nature and Life Complex.
• Veterinarians at the Çekmeköy Rehabilitation Center referred him to Istanbul University’s Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Veterinary Medicine for imaging and blood tests.
• Park officials said a CT scan and blood counts showed no issues, though some coverage and video captions described the imaging as an MRI.
• He was treated, released back to the park, and is being monitored as footage of his hospital trip continues to circulate widely online.
• Staff are adjusting his diet to avoid a recurrence, noting he had a similar overeating incident three years ago when he was given the name Okan.
