The zoo released the necropsy report. Baffin died of a crushed trachea, from play with companion Siku. They do go on to make a point that it was not heat related and that they remain committed to animal well being and trying to keep polar bears together. Not just displaying one on its own.

Not mentioned news:
On June 11 2024, 9 year old female Japanese serow, Yuki passed away. She was born at Calgary Zoo. Sad news, I was making my Japanese serow list, only to find out she passed.

This is a very unfortunate incident, ... however I don't think anything would have been able to prevent it. The zoo must be applauded for being so transparant and engaging the general public and the media.
Those thinking bad or malicious (intent) are always going to be fiercely critical ..., however these segments of society can never be swayed by anything.
Sadly, Japanese serow seem to be slowly disappearing from North American zoo collections.
On September 12th, the zoo announced the penguin's sex (1.0) and name, Felix.

I believe that Calgary Zoo sports 2 crane species ..., the red-crowned discussed here and whooping cranes (allthough be it in different zoogeographical areas ...., I guess).
