I will need help with the 3 last facilities. The Capital Texas Zoo built a new enclosure but there haven't been updates. I know some visited the Lupa zoo but there is not a lot of way to know.
 
Thank you to everyone for the help. I will dig deeper to find more information.
going back in my photos from my visit turns out they had 2!
They currently have Natalie and Mindy. Mindy was rescued in 2013.
I am not sure if it still stands true, but Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) should have at least one Asian black bear.

I also found out that Parque Zoologico Benito Juarez might have some asiatic black bear. Do you mind helping me to search for Mexican facilities? I don't speak Spanish and google translate is the only way I can understand.

Hi I was wondering but would anyone know the name of the Asian black bear that the Philadelphia zoo had back in the 2000s and also any info on it and I am asking because that was my only encounter with an Asian black bear.
