Nan the polar bear, orphaned above the Artic Circle 26 years ago, moves into Como Zoo

Copy shortlink:
Visitors to the Como Zoo in St. Paul can now welcome Nan, a polar bear who came into this world 26 years ago at the most northern point of the United States.
Nan comes to the Twin Cities from the Brookfield Zoo near Chicago, where she lived for four years after residing in zoos in Toledo, Ohio, and Tacoma, Wash.
Short for the Inupiaq word "Nanutaaq," which means young of a bear, Nan was orphaned and discovered under a house above the Arctic Circle in Barrow, Alaska.
Wildlife authorities quickly determined she was too young to survive in the wild on her own, and so began her life in the Lower 48.
