Lee arrived Thursday afternoon from the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky after experts recommended that Lee be placed there in 2020.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is welcoming back a familiar face: Lee, a 23-year-old polar bear who had been living at the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky since 2020., returned Thursday afternoon after originally being moved to make sure that other polar bears would have adequate space in Columbus, according to zoo officials.
Multiple staff members from the Columbus Zoo accompanied Lee during the drive from Louisville to ensure that he arrived safely. Staff have continued to observe Lee closely since his arrival and report that he is settling in very well, according to a news release. At that time, Columbus also was home to Aurora’s twin sister, Anana. To ensure that Aurora and her cub, as well as Anana — who was preparing to den with the possibility of having cubs — had plenty of space for rearing their offspring, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan recommended that Lee be placed in Louisville, whereAfter being weaned from his mother, Kulu moved to the Como Park Zoo in Minnesota in October 2021.
Anana was euthanized in October 2022 when her health rapidly declined due to complications from an autoimmune disease.
