TODDLER FOUND IN BEARS' DEN

TEHRAN, Iran -- A mother bear appears to have cared for a missing 16-month-old toddler who was found safe and sound three days later in the animal's den.

The child's parents, from a nomadic tribe in Iran's western Lorestan province, returned to their tent after working in the fields to find him missing.

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.
