Where was this enclosure? Looks like the one the brown bears live in, although it isn't.

Unfortunately, I don't remember where in the zoo it was. I only visited Whipsnade the once, almost 25 years ago. The Brown Bears had another exhibit which, judging by some pics I've seen in the gallery, they are still occupying.

I belive it was on the hill at the far end of the zoo, near to where the reindeer are now.

It was in a hollow on the hill over the road from the white rhino paddock.

1 Week Ago

It was near(before) the intersection where a road heads back from the circular drive toward the Giraffe House. The hollow was completely filled in I think and is now just a grassy viewpoint.

1 Week Ago

i can conferm it wasn't the bear enclosure, they've never moved, and hope they never will

3 Days Ago

I can just recognise where it was,When i went in about 1999/2000 their last African Lion Dot had died so it was a great dissapointment to me even though i was only about 6 or so not to see a lion that day!
It may of been filled in im not sure though its not used at all now just is overlooked by the road by the White Rhinos.
I think i may of seen an old drain type thing further along towards the reindeer could that have something to do with the Polars?
It was definately a spectacular enclosure for the time
