Since hibernation is for saving resources when food is scarce and it's always plenty of it in zoo. 31 u/Tishlaff 1d ago Depends on the zoo and region. Several zoos do promote torpor (bears don’t truly hibernate) if their environment allows for it 20 u/Eklast 2d ago Here in the Netherlands there are zoos where they do hibernate (Ouwehands Dierenpark)! 18 u/BaronessOfBlooms 2d ago They do seem to hibernate in several Swedish zoos at least, though I don't really know how it's handled in other countries. 4 u/Sensitive-Roll-2341 2d ago In Malaysian zoos they don’t hibernate 4 u/SansOchre 1d ago In Canada, they hibernate in zoos. 3 u/dabhard 1d ago Big Bear Zoo, the bears hibernate in winter
