A 29-year-old female polar bear named Tundra, who arrived at the Detroit Zoo just a few months ago from Indianapolis, died Monday morning after battling a sudden illness.
The bear’s health had been declining since early Sunday, and zoo officials euthanized her after tending to her through Sunday night and Monday morning, the zoo said in a Facebook post. The exact illness was not determined, though a necropsy will be performed to try to find the cause.
