Inuka is the first polar bear to be born in the tropics and to the Singapore Zoo. Now 16 years old, Inuka has grown from a cute fluffy cub to a handsome and charming bear.

Currently, Inuka lives with his 29 year-old mother Sheba at the Singapore Zoo. However Sheba is now well past the average 25 year life span for captive polar bears. When Sheba eventually passes away, Inuka will be transferred to a temperate country zoo.

This also means that THERE WILL BE NO POLAR BEARS IN SINGAPORE VERY SOON!Therefore, I made a visit to the zoo recently to visit the animals and especially because of the polar bears cause there will be no polar bears in the zoo in the future T.T(which means we will have to visit foreign zoos to see such non-temperate animals in the future)

Anyway here are the pics since someone requested for update

THE ZOO!

Cute signpost that I found lol...

One of my better shots ahha...white tiger RAWR!

This is what happens when the animals refuse to pose for pictures

Nice goat eh?...slacker zzz

Goat Number 2: BUT MY HORNS ARE NICER!

We got lucky...saw the sloth in action...literally

The closeup was so damn big it actually got freaky

The lioness is looking at the other lioness's *ahem*

This is Inuka, the final polar bear in our zoo (by the way that extra man is the zoo keeper)

It's not as cold as you think...despite the fog

Patience is crucial...we waited from noon to night before the lion woke up

And that's all for today! This is the final time there will be polar bears in the zoo so it's best to visit them before they are gone T.T

Thought of the Day: It's so stupid, since the polar bear was born in our temperate country then why shouldn't it stay here zzz
