Plumpton Park Zoo - Eurasian brown bear exhibit

I didn't see a bear in here.

I do wonder what caused someone to import eurasian brown bears to north america...? Seems a strange decision, maybe a regulatory thing?

@DelacoursLangur I'm not sure, other than maybe breeding cubs? "Eurasian brown" doesn't have quite the impact with the people that tend to visit these zoos that "grizzly" or even "kodiak" would.

Why would it seem any stranger than importing Grizzly or Kodiak Bears to Europe?

@Chlidonias It wouldnt be, they are both equally strange decisions IMO.. Perhaps with the exception of the Kodiak bear because of its significant size difference they are all really similar subspecies with no noticeable difference in the public eye.
