Is there actually two brown bear enclosures at ZOOM? Are the Kodiak and Kamchatka bears separated or do they share the same exhibit(s)? Truth be told the many photos of the bear complex make it seem outstanding. Modern, naturalistic, and a far cry from the ugly and outdated grottoes that dot the zoological landscape worldwide.

Kodiaks and Kamchatkans were in adjacent exhibits when I was there (same visit as this photo!), with Polar Bears also nearby.

It's a little over-mock-rocked but seemed very good indeed for the bears.

There are three exhibits for polar bears (two big for a young and an old pair and a small for the "dwarf" polar bear) and 2 for brown bears, one used by the kodiak pair and one for the kamtschatka brothers.

But her exhibit isn't. She had more space in the old 'bear-castle'.

do the bears have access down to the front of your photo or are they restricted to the top of the slope.
From the bears point of view all the mock rock must give some visual stimulationoffering diferent perspectives etc even if to some it looks OTT

All you can see in this shot is the exhibit of the kodiaks and for the accessible and it continues to the left.

Thanks Animal I think it makes that a good exhibit, a little more cover to hide the bears or for them to forage in would make it a fantastic exhibit from what I can see.
