Inuka

Inuka was a male polar bear and one of the mascots of the Singapore Zoo. Born and housed in a climate-controlled enclosure, he was the world's only 'tropical polar bear'. Inuka was born in the Singapore Zoo in 1990 and died of age-related ailments in 2018. Inuka means 'Silent Stalker' in the Inuit language. The fussy eater enjoyed salmon the most. Keepers said he loved taking dips in his private pool and enjoyed hydro massages under his waterfall. A cheeky and inquisitive soul, he was known to invent his own games and would even hide his toothbrush from his care team.
