Oh interesting.

From the article, it was rescued early September then quarantined for 30 days.
Have they kept it quarantined even longer?

Regardless, we typically go to the zoo once a month or more and have only seen the golden bear once. Maybe we got lucky once and happened to see it on a day when they were trying to introduce it to the rest of the black bears briefly?

Edit: Found a blurb on her introduction.

"Even though she arrived at the zoo during the August of 2013 she has not been on exhibit yet. This was due to the bear’s natural hibernation over winter. The zoo also took time to allow her to become familiar with her habitat."

Sounds like we must have luckily seen her during one of her early introductions to the habitat. Also explains why we haven't seen her since.
