The world's oldest polar bear has died at a Canadian zoo.
Zoo co-ordinator Gordon Glover at Winnipeg, Manitoba's Assiniboine Park Zoo said polar bear Debby was put to sleep on Monday after suffering from several strokes and organ failure.
The 42-year-old polar bear was born in the Russian Arctic in 1966. She went to Winnipeg's zoo as an orphan a year later.
