تنعي حدائق الحيوان بالجيزة ثلاث من أحب النجوم بها فقد فقدت الحديقة كل من فرح – لولو – ونبيلة إناث الدب الاسود الامريكي.
في حين بدأت حالة الطوارئ بحديقة الحيوان لإتمام الاستعدادات لعيد الربيع وشم النسيم ووسط ضغوط العمل المكثف لإنجاح هذا اليوم وإسعاد زائري الحديقة فوجئ الاطباء والكلافين المسئولين عن بيت الدبب عصر الامس بهياج الثلاث اناث ( فرح – لولو – نبيلة ) وبدأت الدبب في العراك وبسرعة حاول الاطباء الفصل بينها ولكن دون فائدة واستمرت المحاولات من الساعة الثالثة عصراً وحتى منتصف الليل.
أدى العراك إلى نفوق الدببة الثلاث نتيجة كسور بالضلوع والرقبة. ومن المعروف عن الدبب أنه يحدث مثل هذا العراك في موسم التزاوج الذي يبدأ في شهر مايو بغض النظر عن المساحة التي تعيش فيها هذه الحيوانات.
