TEHRAN (Reuters) - A mother bear appears to have cared for a missing
16-month-old Iranian toddler who was found safe and sound three days
later in
the animal's den, the Kayhan newspaper said Tuesday.The child's parents,
from
a nomadic tribe in western Lorestan province, returned to their tent
after
working in the fields to find him missing, Kayhan said.Three days later,
a
search party found the baby, who they said had probably been breast fed
by a
mother bear, in a den some six miles away from the nomadic settlement. A

medical examination showed the baby was in good health, the daily said.
