If the ban on Canadian bears didnt exist I would suggest bringing down Ganuk a male bear being held at the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat. He's got a father who has sired 13 cubs (4 survivors due to one mothers lack of ability to raise her babies... tried to eat the first two litters and lacked milk to feed the next two) and is currently working on increasing that number with his two ladies. Ganuk has no possiblities for mating here... Cant breed with your mom or sister, why breed him to his fathers current mates. There are two immature wild born females who wont be breeding stock for 4 years minimum and his younger brother is already in place to breed with them. Ganuk just isnt needed in Canada. Hes only 5 but by the time the exhibit opens next year with breeding season already gone he will be old enough for the 2016 season. Alas the stupid ban on Canadian bears exists and US zoos are missing out on some great genetics being that his wild born parents are completely unrrepresented in the states.
