Inuka, the world's first polar bear born in the tropics, was euthanised today by the Singapore Zoo, officials said. The 27-year-old bear suffered from age-related ailments including arthritis, and its limbs became too weak to support its over 500-kilogramme frame. The zoo said this resulted in injuries to its abdomen and paws which did not respond well to weeks of intensive treatment. A team of veterinarians and keepers decided not to revive the bear after it was anesthetized Wednesday for a thorough health check. "Looking at all the symptoms it is quite clear that from ... Inuka's point of view, he would have been suffering quite a fair bit of discomfort and pain," said Cheng Wen-Haur, deputy chief executive of Wildlife Reserves Singapore, which runs most of the country's zoos. "So we made the only right call that we can make under the situation," he added. Male polar bears typically live for 15 to 18 years in the wild and about 25 years in captivity, the zoo said.
