Brown Bear Enclosure - Perth Zoo 1987
Old 23-01-2008

The Bear Terraces at Perth are another one I remember well from my visits as a young boy in the mid to late 70s. Mostly held Brown Bears but sometimes also Black Bears (prob. Asiatic) and for quite a long time 'Cape' Hunting Dogs.

Still held some old Brown Bears in 1987, but probably didn't last much longer after that.

Over time they held polars, suns, a kodiak/grizzly cross, Syrian bears, hunting dogs, maned wolves and striped hyaenas. Possibly also a black bear species. The pair in the photo are almost certainly the pair of Hokkaido browns. The hyaenas went to Singapore night safari and only the sun and Syrian bears, hunting dogs and maned wolves were rehoused within the zoo when the exhibit was closed.
