Aging Zoo Animals

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Geriatric Animals Pose Challenges at St. Louis Zoo," by Diane Toroian Keaggy--

They work out every day and never skip a checkup. They eat a balanced diet and enjoy an active social life. And, of course, they don't smoke.

The healthy lifestyle of today's zoo animals means they are living longer. That's a point of pride at the St. Louis Zoo. But it's also a challenge. Like elderly humans, the old-timers at the Zoo grapple with a variety of age-related ailments ranging from renal failure to hearing loss. Among the Zoo's senior citizens are a lemur with a bad liver, a Cotswold sheep with cataracts and three arthritic black bears.
