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.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post MaryLin Posted at 7:58 am on Nov. 20, 2008 Debby, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest polar bear, died Monday at the age of 42.
