The Seneca Park Zoo says Aurora the polar bear is not pregnant.

In March, the zoo did the first artificial insemination of a polar bear. Officials say the procedure was a success technically and hormone levels did indicate she was pregnant. However, it now does not appear that she is. The zoo says they plan to try again, but due to Aurora's age they will go with a low-risk procedure.
