"Incredible Journey"

Aging polar bear Barle has been euthanized by the Detroit Zoo. Barle was one of six polar bears rescued from the infamous Suarez Brothers Circus.

Now the NC Zoo's Willy (Wilhem) remains (of the six). [UPDATE: See comment below for another survivor of the "Suarez Six".]

Alaska at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore was also one of the rescued bears. I didn't know this until recently when someone linked me to their FB page.
