Veterinarians at the Phoenix Zoo recently got a big shock. A 2-year-old Andean bear that everybody thought was a male, is actually a female.

"You could call what happened down at the zoo a real embarrassment. A true faux pas."
The discovery was made last week just as keepers were getting the bear named Luka ready for a trip to Nashville for breeding.

 During a health examination, it was very clear that the boy bear isn't a boy after all.
