my closer friends would know that im very fond of silly looking furry animals, such as golden retrievers and koalas. i think my favourite of them all animals would be the polar bears. they just look so silly with their big black nose and white hair (or is it fur?)
anyway, it is quite sad news finding out about the passing of one of the zoo's icon. i remember my first encounter with this friendly giant was way back in kindergarten, during my first of many school excursions to the zoo. it's just so interesting how animals have their own way to relate to one another too. like how Inuka (her son) growl at Sheba during her last few hours, and realized something was wrong the she didnt growl back like she normally would. like how they had to be separated during the last few days and Inuka will pop his head through the bars to have his mother-son bonding time.
it's sad that Sheba wont get to move into her new home at the River Safari, which opens next year. guess inuka would have to live there alone now..
