Thanks for posting all of your Columbus Zoo photos, and for typing up an informative review! Now that you've see this exhibit, packed with natural substrate, what do you think about the polar bear cement pits at your local Buffalo Zoo? Keep the photos coming!
I'd be interested in seeing Detroit's Polar Bear Exhibit. From pictures, it looks like it has a better underwater viewing area. But yes, here with the beautiful land and clear water, it's refreshing.
Snowleopard, yes I know the bear pits at the Buffalo Zoo are horrible. I only visit them because the Polar Bears are engaging to watch. Some day soon I hope they get to see a better home!
From Snowleopard's praise of it, and fkalltheway's photo of the polar bear underwater looking at the seal next door, it sounds and looks amazing and I definitely want to check it out!
