Zoo brings in translator for Frech speaking polar bear

[Catherine]

Calgary Zoo has just taken on a polar bear from a Quebec zoo. The zoo is French speaking, so the polar bear does not know English.
Calgary Zoo wants the bear to feel at home and settle in comfortably. To  help him, the zoo has hired a French translator, until he learns English

The  bear is used to hearing French spoken and he is used to zoo keepers giving directions in French.
I think is is showing real concern for the animal that they have accommodated his language needs.
How fitting that in Canada, a bilingual country, even our polar bears are biingual.
