Description
The bear in this image called Debby (1966 � November 17, 2008) was the world's oldest polar bear. She lived in the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg. In August 2008, the Guinness Book of World Records certified her as not only the oldest polar bear, but one of the three oldest individuals ever recorded of all bear species.
Debby was born in the Soviet Arctic in 1966, and subsequently orphaned; she arrived in Winnipeg when she was a year old.
In November of 2008, she was found to be suffering from multiple organ failure, and was subsequently euthanized. She was 42 years old.
Based on my original photograph of Debby taken before the illness that resulted in her death.
