Homer, a 16-year-old polar bear, was found dead an hour after his feeding time at Midland Zoo. Homer could be described as a curious and playful polar bear. Midland Zoo is investigating the cause of this death.

Chris Bacon had this to say about the situation, “We will determine how this bear died. Animal welfare and the preservation of species are our primary goals here at the zoo.”

The Midland Zoo is not going to be set back by the situation and will continue with the other polar bear’s future endeavors.
