Bear Beats Cancer With a Sweet Twist

Edinburgh Zoo’s sun bear Babu was given days to live after a terminal cancer diagnosis, but she’s now in remission—thanks to meds hidden in her favorite treat: honey! Vets were stunned, since there’s barely any precedent for bears surviving this type of cancer. Babu’s daily honey routine made her recovery even sweeter, though keepers joke she won’t get honey as often now. She’s back to her curious self, and might have another decade to charm visitors! #FeelGoodNews #AnimalMiracle #ZooStories #Health
