Will Cranbeary get stuffed this Thanksgiving?
The zoo sure hopes so. According to leading bear-ologists at the International Union for Conservation of Nature, there are only between 20,000 and 25,000 polar bears left in the wild. They live in places such as Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Norway and Russia and are threatened by poaching, pollution and climate change that causes loss of sea ice. Zoos hope to help remedy that by pairing captive animals together, "which ensures healthy populations and genetic diversity among zoo animals."
It also ensures effing adorable baby animals, of which we're 100-percent in favor.
Here's hoping those two crazy kids make a go of it.
