The park used to exhibit two polar bear named Bjurn and Tasha delivered from Adelaide Zoo after a breeding program in 1992. However, Bjurn died on March 31, 2004 while Tasha died on March 30, 2005, both due to old age. The exhibit is now used as a Humboldt penguin exhibit, the polar bears can be seen as a taxidermy in the exhibit.
 
I can find only find one media showing a living Taman Safari's polar bear


Skip to minute 21:46. The polar bear shown is Tasha, since this was filmed on December 2004

Giant panda actually live in a temperate to quite cold climate. It is better than having a tundra animal, but you still need full indoor air-conditioning among it's picky diet to hold them in tropical zone.

That said: Bogor is quite a quintessential location where a mild tropical climate exists as well as a good choice of bamboo is locally available. The - admittedly repressive unhealthy oppressive regime - old Dutch colonials like to travel up from Jakarta to Bogor to escape the heat and humidity of the megapolis city.

Personally, I like both the inner-city Jakarta area as well as Bogor very much. What is less agreeable is the traffic in and out of Jakarta ...., a nightmare in day time.
(Excuse my honesty Nandito, no harm intended!).

But well the Indonesians in general are so nice, welcoming and courteous that we "Westerners" might like to copy and adopt their example in hospitality and courtesy forthwith!

Well, in term of humor, most Indonesian aren't so nice about it. Like no matter how controversial the thing their joking about, they're going the milk the joke until It's dry. The only controversial Indonesian joke that I think will never die is the meme that will appear in every Indonesian internet user social media every September.
