Its chances of survival are slim, but to lower this probability even further, the polar bear is…

    The Polar Bear exhibit at the zoo was the smallest exhibit that I viewed for the day for such a massive animal. By estimation, the exhibit is about 70 feet wide, and 100 feet long. Half of the exhibit is terrain which was a smooth flattened rock surface with several big rocks for the bear to climb up on.
