The bear was first rescued at six months old in Alaska and brought to the Brookfield Zoo in 1995, along with his brother Axhi.

Jim was a 27-year-old male brown bear at the Brookfield Zoo. According to the Chicago Zoological Society, he was euthanized Sept. 13 due to declining health associated with his advanced age.

Jim and his brother, Axhi, arrived at the Brookfield Zoo in 1995 at six months old, rescued from southeastern Alaska after a hunter killed their mother. Jim’s full name was Kootznoowoo-Jim, after some of the people who helped rescue the two cubs. According to CZS, Kootznoowoo is a word from the Tlingit people of Admiralty Island which means “fortress of the bear,” and Jim was an animal care staff member who cared for the cubs when he worked at the Brookfield Zoo’s mammal department.
