It is so sad when any animal dies. I hope Debby had a good life and did not suffer near the end. I, also, am surprised that a bear could live that long. I’m sure that the people who cared for her are very sad.

I’ve got a few shots of her, I’ll post a few more.
She was (even at 41) the 3rd oldest bear ever, of any of the bear species.

Tomorrow the Assiniboine Park Zoo (Winnipeg Canada) is having a memorial at noon (Saturday the 22 Nov. 2008) for her.

She will be missed by many.
