Zoo discovers bear is female, not male

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Zoo is 'fessing up to what it calls an "embearassing" mistake regarding one of its animals. Zoo officials say they were planning to transfer Luka to the Nashville, Tennessee, zoo when they recently discovered the 2-year-old Andean bear is a female, not a male as thought. The zoo said employees there hadn't handled the bear much because it was doing well with its mother. The zoo said Luka still might go to Nashville, but now they know she's a she, it opens up other options for the bear's participation in a breeding program.
