Focused on Her Prey
On the morning of July 10, the animal care team released 14 live bass into the polar bear's main pool and a bear party followed. All three were in the wagter and all were successful in making multiple catches.
This was the final release of fish (6 of 6) funded by the 2018 Ocelots Grants Program Awards. It's been fabulous enrichments for the bears and for those of us who enjoy watching them.
This is 18 year old Tatqiq (Ursus maritimus) stalking one of her fish in the shallow end of the pool San Diego Zoo's Polar Bear Plunge.
Conservation status: Vulnerable
