The article also discusses the sadness surrounding the death of Victoria, a 28-year-old polar bear, who was euthanized after health complications. RZSS highlighted her legacy as a dedicated mother, reflecting the organization's commitment to both animal welfare and raising awareness about conservation efforts for polar bears in the wild.
Victoria was an excellent mother and seeing her bring up two big, healthy boys has been a joy for our charity's dedicated teams and the hundreds of thousands of visitors who have flocked to see the family, and learn more about the threats these amazing animals face in the wild.
