A central Illinois zoo is mourning the loss of the oldest sun bear in North America.
Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington was home to Candy the sun bear and Site Superintendent Jay Tetzloff says it is a tough loss for their staff and guests she was part of the zoo for over 20 years.
Tetzloff says the zoo is asking anyone wanting to remember Candy the sun bear to direct those memorials to the Zoological Society, the fundraising arm of the City owned entity.
