“We say goodbye to her with sadness and share this news with you, because Józia was one of the most recognizable residents of our zoo. She lived with us for many years in good health and condition, but she was not immune to diseases typical of her age,” the Wrocław zoo reported.

In the wild, Himalayan bears live for over 20 years, in zoos they live for over 30 years, and the record holders live for even around 40 years.
