Here’s some good news anyway. Mercedes, the polar bear that used to be locked up in Edinburgh Zoo has been moved to an open prison in the Highlands. Whenever I went to the zoo, I’d avoid her cage. It had a pool, and she did have room to pace, but not that far, and it was painful to see her so obviously confined. Now she has four acres to roam about in.
“Mercedes” – what a Latin sounding name for a Nordic beast like that. You think she would be called something like Nanooka or Sieglinde.
