The gross anatomy, cellular structure, and fatty acid composition of adipose tissue in captive polar bears (Ursus maritimus)

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430120304.abs The gross anatomy, microscopic structure, and fatty acid composition of adipose tissue in four elderly polar bears (Ursus maritimus), that had each been in captivity for more than 24 years, were compared with that of young wild specimens.
