Debby, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest polar bear, died Monday at the age of 42. Born in the Russian Arctic, she lived almost all her long life at the Assinboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Zoo co-ordinator Gordon Glover at Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo said Tuesday that the bear, named Debby, was euthanized on Monday after suffering 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.
Debby entered the Guinness Book of World records as the oldest living polar bear earlier this year at age 41.
Few polar bears reach 20 years of age in the wild, but many have survived into their early 30s in captivity.

"Who are you?" Sophie asked.
She received no response to this either, but felt a momentary
confusion as to whether it was she or her reflection who asked
the question.

I was just discussing in biology class the other day of how polar bears were endangered. :(

The good news is that there's always a new oldest polar bear to take on the mantle.

Until we drive the poor bastards to extinction, that is.
