Disoriented bear cub rescued in Turkey after eating 'mad honey'
Reuters: Footage showed the bear wobbling and whining as she sat belly-up in the back of a pick-up truck, after people rescued the visibly-debilitated animal from the forest.
Mad honey, or "deli bal" in Turkish, is a type of rhododendron honey that can have hallucinogenic effects.
The bear was brought to a vet, where she was receiving treatment and would likely be released into the wild in the coming days, local authorities said, adding that she was in good condition.
