The Calgary Zoo’s “Canadian Wilds” zone is getting a facelift in preparation for its new inhabitants which was developed with the help of polar bear experts.
The habitat will include a massive tree-filled meadow, rock features, numerous pools, a wading stream, and an unobstructed view of the horizon.
The zoo says the “new habitat will provide an enriching environment that encourages the expression of natural behaviours, provides cognitive challenges, and stimulates play.”
