The Central Park Zoo has lost a popular polar bear. The Wildlife Conservation Society says veterinarians euthanized Gus on Tuesday. He had a large inoperable tumor. Gus was 27. The median life expectancy for male polar bears in zoos is less than 21. Officials estimate more than 20 million zoo-goers visited Gus. They say he drew attention to the effects of climate change on bears in the wild. ~lp~
