An Andean bear likened to the fictional favourite has entered a zoo's special breeding programme.
An endangered Andean bear has arrived at a zoo to help boost the species likened to the fictional favourite Paddington Bear.
They are noted for having powerful jaws that can munch through hardened vegetative matter, as opposed to the marmalade sandwiches favoured by the children's character created by British author Michael Bond. Mr Jordan said: "Hopefully they'll hit it off and go on to have cubs together, adding a key new bloodline to the endangered species' breeding programme."
Paul Bamford, regional field programmes manager for the Americas at Chester Zoo, explained more about why Andean bears are under threat.
