Detroit Zoo Polar Bear Exhibit


Went to the Detroit zoo the other day, first time in awhile. They have an amazing new polar bear exhibit that was just awesome. Hard to describe, but they had a plexiglass tunnel that you could see the bears just 2 feet above your head or swimming all around you. This one bear was just sitting on top of the tunnel, playing around, you just wanted to hug him like a big teddy bear, of course, we all know they're not really huggable, but we can dream. On the downside, what the hell happened to the Detroit zoo? Big empty enclosures, where are all the animals? They're spending tons of money on all these new exhibits, but where are all the animals? The elephants are gone, can you believe that??? Cheetahs, monkeys, snow leopards, mountain lions, white tigers, to name a few, they're all gone. Did we really need an amusement park ride at the zoo? Thank God for the polar bear exhibit, I'll focus my memories on that instead of the negative and hopefully next time we'll see more animals instead of less.
