Right part of the Sea Lion exhibit and former Polar Bear exhibit. It is hard to imagine that there were once Polar Bears down by the Mexican border, but there were, until sometime in the 1990s.

Not sure if you bought the history book in the souvenir shop but in it is a a funny and rather remarkable tale of how a night watchman (and an ex-marine) they once had prevented an escape from this exhibit. I'm too tired now to copy the story but maybe tomorrow.
