Original Toronto Star caption: More than Mr. Pooh Can Bear. Mr. Pooh; the 5-year-old polar bear at the Riverdale Zoo was reluctant to leave for his new home in the Metro Zoo yesterday. It took three drug darts from an air-rifle-normal shot is one-to calm him down. Even then; the zoo employees had a tough time pushing the 700 pound animal into a moving crate. He awakened and two more drug injections were given before job was done. Kodiak bears will go to U.S
