World's oldest polar bear euthanised

The world's oldest polar bear has died at a Canadian zoo. Zoo coordinator Gordon Glover of Manitoba's Assiniboine Park Zoo said that the bear, named Debby, was euthanised on Monday after it had suffered from several strokes and organ failure.

The 42-year-old polar bear was born in the Russian Arctic in 1966. She came to Winnipeg's zoo as an orphan a year later.
