More Animal News: No Home in Buffalo for Polar Bears

The PiPress reports that the Como Zoo polar bears, Neil and Buzz (not sure what the Apollo mission naming thing is about), who were supposed to spend a couple years in Buffalo, NY, while a new home for them is being built at Como, won't shuffle off to Buffalo after all. The Buffalo Zoo had promised to take them, then reneged based on the high costs associated. Apparently, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan team is frantically searching for new temporary housing for Neil and Buzz. Good luck finding new digs, fellas.
