Oldest polar bear dies at 42
Canadian zoo officials on Tuesday were mourning the death of what is believed to be the world's oldest polar bear.
The 42-year-old bear named Debby died on Monday at a zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she had lived since 1967 after being captured as an orphaned cub in the Russian Arctic in 1966.
