ZOOM - Polar bear exhibit

      A view of about 25% of the exhibit for polar bears in the polar-region biotope of the Alaska theme in ZOOM Erlebniswelt, Germany. This exhibit is 3400 sqm large (0.84 acres) and provides a high-quality habitat for the polar bears, one of the best I have seen. The pool is huge and deep and the polar bears have a decent land-area with gravel for digging and lots of dirt with actual grass and other tundra plants growing. This exhibit is one of the absolute highlights of ZOOM.

      Yes, the information must have slipped somehow. I just copy-pasted it to this photo as well :)

      Thanks guys! 3400 sq. m. = 0.84 acres. A fairly impressive size in comparison to many other polar bear exhibits around the world.
