August 2008. A sloping, volcano-like enclosure in which the two bears remain at the top. This tiny amount of space is covered with tree trunks and various broken branches.

I admit that I cannot stand this enclosure, as the long, sloping concrete walls create a standard, outdated bear pit. At the top is the pile of dead logs and a couple of green bushes, but this must be one of the smallest sun bear exhibits that I've ever seen. The bears can climb up and down the steep, cement sides but most of the time remain in the tiny area at the top of the enclosure.
