It said last week that Baffin was sparring with his enclosure mate, eight-year-old Siku, before being found dead.
Baffin and Siku were transferred from Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park Zoo to Calgary in 2023.
They were moved to a new polar bear habitat in a redeveloped area at Calgary’s zoo known as Wild Canada that opened in December.
