NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Zoo welcomed a new member to its family: a 2-year-old Andean bear named Luka.

She came from the Phoenix Zoo, and has been living in an off-exhibit quarantine area until her new habitat opens.

Zoo officials said Luka would be able to be seen in spring 2016.

Luka previously made headlines this year due to a case of mistaken identity. For the first two years of her life, Luka was thought to be a male!
