Boki the bear gets mice cake to celebrate brain surgery milestone

A wildlife park is marking one year since one of its bears underwent pioneering, life-saving brain surgery.

Boki went under the knife in October 2024 at Wildwood Trust in Kent to treat hydrocephalus, a build-up of fluid on the brain that causes seizures.

The three-year-old brown bear was fitted with a stent to drain the fluid during the five-hour operation.

He was presented on Thursday with a cake - made of sweet potato, nuts, seeds and mice - to mark the anniversary.
