Patty the South American Spectacled Bear Died Soon After in the Houston Zoo
Patty Bear died at the age of 31 in the Houston Zoo where she spent most of her happy long life.
She was the oldest known Andean Bear when she died.
They're more commonly known as the South American Spectacled bear.
They have an average life expectancy of 25 years when cared for in a habitat.
On this day, she seemed happy and was just relaxing like that for a while. She showed me her teeth and was curious.
