Polar Bear Exhibit 1920's

This exhibit was one of the originals at the zoo... Note the low wall which at least one Polar Bear escaped out of and was shot... This photo was sourced from the book: A Tiger by the Tail by Derek Wood...

      Somebody obviously thought (wrongly) that polar bears can't launch themselves up out of the water. They can!

      I'm impressed by the size of the swimming area. For a polar bear enclosure from the last century that looks pretty good.
