Title: NZ Andean Bear Cam
Post by: carly on 11-Dec-12, 08:14:35 PM
Don't know if anyone is interested but the National Zoo's female Andean Bear Billie Jean may be in labor as per their Face Book page. The cam has sound too.
Billie Jean's mate was euthanized a few months ago after a year long battle with cancer so these two cubs - they saw twins on the ultra sound will be a lasting legacy for his memory.
I don't know how long their labor lasts as it's a first for me too but thought I'd throw it out there for you animal lovers :handshake:
