Calgary’s 7-year-old male polar bear ‘Baffin’ died as a result of rough play with another polar bear in the enclosure, the Calgary Zoo says.
A necropsy completed by an independent wildlife pathologist determined Baffin died by drowning following an injury to his trachea. The injury occurred during play with 8-year-old polar bear ‘Siku,’ the zoo said in a July 23 news release.
