Hudson the polar bear at Brookfield Zoo celebrates 17th birthday
BROOKFIELD, Ill. (CBS) – One animal at the Brookfield Zoo is celebrating a very special day.
Hudson the polar bear turned 17 years old on Thursday.
He made his debut at the zoo in December 2006 at the former Bear Grottos and has been a favorite to visitors, the zoo said.
To help him celebrate, he was given special treats created by the animal care team including crafted ice cake with his favorite fish, herring, and another ice treat topped with raisins.
Hudson also got a barrel wrapped with his favorite enrichment items.
If you would like to stop by and wish him a happy birthday, he can be seen at the Great Bear Wilderness habitat during the remaining Holiday Magic dates from Dec. 14 to 17, 21 to 23, and 26 to 31 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
