Our Polar
Bear Cubs
The
Zoo's Glacier Run Exhibit is now home to
two beautiful polar bear cubs: Qannik, the young cub that
captured hearts the world over when she was
found alone on Alaska's north slope last year and Siku, a
2-year old male cub from the
Toledo Zoo. Click
here for
updates, photos and video of the bears.
Seeing Our
Bears
There are now a total of 3 polar bears and 3 grizzly
bears in Glacier Run. Glacier Run features 2 public
exhibit areas – the large outdoor Glacier Exhibit
and the indoor Bear Alley space. The bears are
placed on a rotational exhibit schedule daily or
even several times a day so, much like our
award-winning Islands and Gorilla Forest Exhibits,
you won’t see the same combination of animals in the
same exhibits each time you visit. This rotation
strategy is a key Louisville Zoo strategy for
successful animal management that focuses on animal
health and enrichment. For more information on
rotational exhibitry, click
here. When off
exhibit, the animals have a chance to rest and
bond with keepers during additional training and
enrichment activities.
