World's only tropical-born polar bear euthanised
Battling health difficulties for the past five years, Singapore-born Inuka, the only polar bear ever born in the tropics, has been euthanised by zoo authorities. Twenty-seven-year-old Inuka had been suffering from arthritis, dental issues, and ear infections with weakening limbs hindering its mobility. "The greater kindness would be to relieve him from prolonged suffering," said a Zoo official.
