Ilf In Zoo
Jim, a Kodiak Bear, at the!
I ''-an Diego Zoo has become j
| paralyzed in his hind legs due.
> eating too much canay and.
bread fed him between meals
by visitors to the zoo.
The big bear was captured
as a cub on Kodiak Island in
1934 along with another cub
which was named Joe. Or
i iginally the two shared the
same quarters, but several
years ago Joe died of an in
fected jaw wound. He re
ceived it in a playful scuffle
with Jim.
Zoo keepers believe that
Jim will ultimately be put to
[sleep. The 1,700 pound bear
can not be given “shots” and
other treatment afforded
smaller animals at the zoo.
The bears were taken from
Kodiak to California aboard
the yacht Stranger skippered
by a Captain Lewis. Sid Old
and Eli Metrokin were in the
party that helped catch the
cubs
