Mixed Bear exhibit circa 1964

Photograph taken by my father, it will be around 1964 as it is a print as are ones definitely from that year - he usually used slide film.

I have a postcard of this exhibit, it shows no less than four species- Polar, Brown, Himalayan & Sunbear altogether.

Do you have any photos from this era(or slightly later) of the Orangutans at Flamingo Park?

I'm afraid not - only from guidebooks and press cuttings. As I promised Cat-Man I am intending to post some details of the Flamingo Park/Land Orangs.
 
I remember this enclosure the Polar bear 'Mandy' was still there in 1997-2000 as I remember her as a young child.

I have a postcard to Pertinax, althought it only showed Mandy and a male Brown bear.
 
After a bit of research in my Flamingo Park history file, I'm starting to think this photo could have been taken in 1967 instead.
 
Yes, that would actually fit in better ...given the state of the walls and your original date.
