Description
Made the trip to the Toronto Zoo after yesterday's snow fall. Wanted to get a pic of the polar bear with some actual snow for a change. She is also a new mom. She gave birth to 3 cubs, but then ignored them. By the time staff got to them, one was dead, one was in critical condition and died shortly after in their care, so they devoted themselves to the third which survived.Related content

Maybe she knew that raising children in a zoo ain't such a good idea! ARG!!! I feel so bad for these folks and yet their wild is quickly getting wrecked too! We should probably be rescuing even more of them - a whole culture - and worse the impact on the rest of the ecosystem - could be lost forever. Of course it's happening to people too and not much is being done - all thanks to global climate change which is just a myth.
Oops - prolly preaching to the choir here! LOL!
Thanks for the lovely photo! The snow did make me wonder! I thought - have zoos finally got smart and starting making a cold environment for the polars?

Oh, I so agree with you. They are such elegant animals.On my bucket list is a trip to Churchhill, Manitoba in Canada to take one of their tundra treks to where the polar bears live.
