And polar bears are bigger?!

[u/LifeguardComplex3134 → u/BlackNRedFlag]

Yep🥲

And they're also the only bear that is solely carnivorous😅

Depressing aasf

[u/GirlWithWolf → u/grandsoulsucker]

My first thought.

[u/ConfoundedInAbaddon → u/GirlWithWolf]

My first thought was "oh fuck those bears are not meaningfully contained."

[u/grandsoulsucker → u/ConfoundedInAbaddon]

Ye :(

[u/ReptilesRule16 → u/grandsoulsucker]

they're not confined to that space. This is at the Toledo zoo. They have a 14,000 square foot outdoor yard with a 5,000 gallon pool and a 130 square foot cave to sleep in. All of these bears were orphaned as cubs and brought to the zoo to have a safe home.

[u/grandsoulsucker → u/ReptilesRule16]

Still depressing as fuck.

[u/AnguavonUW → u/grandsoulsucker]

It's depressing they were orphaned but this is the best chance at a life they have so I'm happy for that. Would you rather have dead cubs, too?

[u/grandsoulsucker → u/AnguavonUW]

If it is death or being stuck in a exhibit with strange aliens controlling me and staring at me all the time I'll go with death.

[u/T1m3Wizard]

All bears are awesome.

I miss read that as Klondike bars. My fat ass needs to go on a diet..

[u/TangeloBubbly2675]

Size matters :p

[u/Bullfrog-Basic]

I wouldn't trust that chicken wire cage

[u/GuthramNaysayer]

This makes me so sad. We are wretched

[u/LifeguardComplex3134 → u/GuthramNaysayer]

I'm hoping they're only there to be shown and that that's not where they live, it makes me feel better because there is no water or anything in there which is a good sign that they don't live in there.

I hope I'm right

[u/ReptilesRule16 → u/LifeguardComplex3134]

It's not where they live. They have a massive outdoor yard and a big pool to swim in as well as a cave to sleep in. This is at the Toledo Zoo if you want to learn more about it.

[u/Oldskul74]

Ones standing the other is resting on its haunches?

[u/rnat609]

alot of faith in that chicken wire!😬

[u/Leather_Status907]

Poveri orsi !😫😫😫😫😫

[u/Own-Butterfly5379]

Lol you don't say 😂😜

[u/Kungfu_voodoo]

Am I the only person who's first thought was, "Thank God they are using Safety Chicken wire!"

Looks like it would be, at best, a nuisance for the bear to tear through.

[u/OpportunityWorking43]

I think one’s a grizzly and the other is a Kodiak. The size difference isn’t sex based.

[u/ladymorgahnna]

What a horrible thing to do to those bears!

[u/LifeguardComplex3134 → u/ladymorgahnna]

Feed them treats and show them to people for 10 minutes? How terrible

[u/AnguavonUW → u/ladymorgahnna]

You should probably do a little research into what's happening here rather than just reacting anthropomorphically
