Oldest Polar Bear in US Dies

[Still Waters]

The oldest polar bear in the United States was put to sleep on Friday after a sudden deterioration in her condition, Philadelphia Zoo said.

Klondike, who at 34 was beyond the typical lifespan for her species, went downhill fast in the last two weeks, zookeepers said, including having difficulty standing and walking after lying down. She also recently had a urinary tract infection.
