I was saddened to read today that St. Louis Zoo's last polar bear, Hope, has died. Here's a picture of her from last year:

😦
I see, she was a cutie.
😦 indeed. She was very playful, as you can see!
Great photo. Polar bears in zoos make me really sad. Most zoo animals do, so I rarely visit zoos.
Thanks, Frankie! (It is ((as of this moment)) the featured reader photo on the St. Louis Post Dispatch web page)I like zoos despite the inescapable dislocation of the animal inhabitants' natural lives.
:(. ..23 and half years old .. Goodbye hope .
Very sad. :rip:I don't mean this as a joke, but I guess you can say that Hope has died. And when it comes to polar bears, I wonder.
