Cub heading to zoo?

IT’S too early to say whether a polar bear cub left orphaned in Churchill after its mother was shot Friday morning will be moved to the Assiniboine Park Zoo’s International Polar Bear Conservation Centre.

The cub was found near the scene of a polar bear attack that left two people hospitalized and resulted in the deaths of two polar bears.

The cub was tranquillized and taken to the northern town’s Polar Bear Holding Facility.

“The decision regarding whether the orphaned polar bear cub would come to the International Polar Bear Conservation Centre is one made by Manitoba Conservation & Water Stewardship,” said Don Peterkin, Assiniboine Park Conservancy chief operations officer.

“Should they ask for our assistance with regards to this particular bear cub, we would of course be willing to help them in any way that we can.”

The sex and age of the cub have not been disclosed.
