Why Won't Polar Bears Mate? They're Both Female

AP) Puzzled Japanese zookeepers have cleared up a mystery over a lack of chemistry between a couple of polar bears as both turn out to be female, a Japanese zoo said Wednesday.

Tsuyoshi, a four-year-old "male" polar bear, and his 11-year-old female partner, Kurumi, have been living together since June at the Kushiro Municipal Zoo in Hokkaido, northern Japan.

But much to the frustration and puzzlement of zookeepers, the bear couple, on a breeding mission, showed no signs of chemistry, and Tsuyoshi has never gone into rut even during "his" mating period.

"Observing his behaviors, we got suspicious as to whether Tsuyoshi was really a male," the zoo said in a statement.

The zoo put Tsuyoshi under an anesthetic earlier in the month for a gender checkup, and learned he was a she.

"I have mixed feelings," Yoshio Yamaguchi, head of the zoo.

Were the zookeepers trained in Kalifonia.....San Fransissyico to be more exact?

Are they sure that conditions aren't frigid between both polar bears?

Physics law. "Opposites Attract"....should have gotten one from the north pole and one from the south pole.......or at least one with a pole.

Nice try, but there ain't no polar bears in Antarctica. So it'll have to be one with a pole from the north.

Would have been nice if ONE of the bears had a "pole".

Well, maybe before Prop 8., which, as we all know, outlaws all homosexuality.
