Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I worked as a zoo keeper at flamingo Land in the 60's and 70's and this photo brings back memories of some of the misguided practices of the era.
Mixing bears from different back grounds was not a good idea, although all the bears where introduced as youngsters, as they matured conflicts occurred.
Eventually the polar bears moved on to there own enclosure.
