Hikers in Uludağ, a popular tourist area in Bursa, Türkiye, were filmed hand-feeding bread to a large bear despite official warnings. The group recorded the encounter on their phones as the animal approached.
Wildlife experts cautioned that such behavior endangers both people and animals, noting that feeding can make bears dependent on humans and more likely to act aggressively in the future.
