The sisters were separated at birth due to medical complications, and they remained apart for more than two years after one was rejected by the mother.
Polar bear twins have been reunited in a zoo after more than two years apart. The siblings were separated shortly after birth when one of them developed severe health problems and was later rejected by their mother.
"Suka was very protective of her cub, Astra, and acted aggressively toward the cub she no longer recognized as her own," Detroit Zoo representatives told Live Science in an email. Laerke remained in a separate enclosure during the reintegration process and"was never at risk of being injured" by the mother, they added.
On April 17, the zoo shared heartwarming images of Astra and Laerke playing together on Facebook along with the caption"sister, sister — never knew how much I missed ya."
