Nord
|
Nord was almost 16 years old when he died today in Ranua Zoo in Finland. He had been ill for awhile, and was being treated, but we don't know what the problem was. He was euthanized when it became clear he was beyond help.
He was born November 13, 2005 in Moscow, to Simona and Vrangel. He was the father of son Nissan, born in 2013 in Izhevsk Russia and now in France: twin sons Beely and Sery, born in Izhevsk and now in Belgium; and four daughters with similar names born in Danish zoos, Imaq born in 2018 in Copenhagen, twins Inuq and Imaq born in 2019 in Aalborg, and Inuviq born in 2019 in Copenhagen. He was a nice cooperative bear, and good to his female companions. I have happy memories of feeding him grapes in Aalborg Zoo. Nord will be greatly missed.
