Polar Bear News

China has moved the last batch of pandas still living in the Wolong preserve which was badly damaged in last year’s devastating earthquake to a nearby facility. The six pandas were moved from the Wolong Panda Breeding Center, near Sichuan’s capital of Chengdu, to another breeding facility in the same province.

Most of the 63 pandas living there have since been relocated to zoos around the country. The Wolong preserve had been the heart of China’s effort to use captive breeding and artificial insemination to save giant pandas. For more on the story, click Last pandas

Wilbaer the polar bear is shown below in the new outdoor enclosure of the Orsa Gronklitt zoo in Orsa, Sweden which opened Monday, May 18, 2009. The park is shared with another bear name Ewa from Rotterdam, Netherlands. It looks like a great place to romp and play.
