Polar Bears can be kept in captivity but in recent years it's found that they need to have very well designed habitats for them.
The Calgary Zoo had planned a large arctic exhibit but that was put on the back burner after the economy went in the crapper back in 2008. The only thing that survived those big plans was the Penguin exhibit.
Back in April of this year the Calgary Zoo again announced plans for Polar Bears...but with all the money lost during the flood I bet those plans are once again up in the air.
