Antonia the Lilliput
Hey guys, first-time post. I visit zoos a lot and see weird stuff quite often, so to start I thought I'd share this gal with you. (how much I'll share depends on what you consider weird)
Antonia is a pygmy polar bear living in ZOOM Erlebniswelt (former Ruhr Zoo Gelsenkirchen), Germany.
This article from 2004 describes her and her life much better than I could, so click here for further reading!
In addition to the article, here are some photos I took of her in october 2007, in her new exhibit. Strangely enough education panels about her are lacking, making all the people think she's a young polar bear. (Or even worse, Knut)
For as far as I know she's still doing fine. In case you were wondering, this is what the new bear exhibits look like.
