Polar Bear Exhibit
This is one of the original exhibits at the zoo... It was open for approximately 70 years and in that time only 1 cub survived to adulthood... Note the low fence which at least one bear escaped out of and was shot... It was later raised... One patron was also talked out of jumping into the enclosure by former director Derek Wood, the patron claimed she had 'powers' and could help heal one of the Bears... This photo is from the Early 1920's and was sourced from the book: A Tiger by the Tail by Derek Wood...
