Sorry devilfish...my sources are a bit sketchy, and I'm not even sure where I heard this information. Do the dates of when the zoos had polar bears coincide? An animal tranfer between the two zoos is quite commonplace. I just hope he/she didn't die at the zoo - it would be a terrible fate for a polar bear to never get the chance to taste the tundra.
Actually it wouldn't 'be a terrible fate for a Polar Bear never to touch the tundra'. However, that bear will have a better life if it has space to run around, substrate to dig in, opportunity to work [forage or problem solve] for its food, and the chance to interact with other bears. The 'tundra' bit is neither here nor there.

While experiencing actual tundra is unlikely, the bear would have a better life for the reasons you mentioned and would be better off in a cooler environment than Egypt.
Where does this polar bear came from? I think it is almost impossible to keep this polar bear in Egypt without getting it from Russian or Canadian government as a gift.
Why is this animal being housed like this? How is that cage even still standing? I don’t see anything wrong with them keeping a Polar Bear, but the cage is pathetic. Do they still have the Polar Bear? If not, where did it go? That animal looks terrible underweight. I would like to know where the animal is now. How is it doing? Is the animal still alive? I’m sorry, but I just can’t get over how poorly this animal is being treated. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with them keeping a Polar Bear, but the animal is in a wretched confine and is too thin. In all honesty, the animal would thrive better in a cooler environment. Where did the Giza Zoo obtain this animal? I bet it came from a circus.
