Chaska

SALISBURY, MD - A beloved bear who recently left the Salisbury Zoo has settled into her new home in Louisiana.

Chaska was moved to the Alexandria Zoo in early May. Salisbury Zoo officials say the 15-year-old Andean Bear's journey to the zoo went smoothly, and she is now thriving in her new environment.

With the bear habitat now empty, the Salisbury Zoo is set to begin building a new exhibit.
