An unfortunate incident occurred at the Memphis Zoo in Memphis Tenn. recently. Apparently a male polar bear who was trying to court a female polar bear pushed her over the edge of a 14 foot drop while playing.
Officials at the Memphis Zoo have said that the five year old female broke a leg. The curator believes that this could be the first romance that the bears have been in and it got a little awkward.
Zoo visitors report seeing the male bear tussling with the female atop the enclosures cliff before she fell.
I guess the male will have to wait until his dates leg has healed before they can try a second date.
