POLAR BEAR BACK ON EXHIBIT AT NC ZOO
BY: Tom GillespieFeb. 27, 2008
ASHEBORO, N.C.—Off exhibit for five months due to construction, Wilhelm the polar bear is back on view at the North Carolina Zoo.
The construction was part of a larger project that included a new shade awning installation for the adjacent sea lion exhibit. During part of the construction, the park’s male and female sea lions were temporarily moved into the polar bear exhibit and Wilhelm was taken to an off-exhibit holding area.
The sea lions’ habitat is now also completed and the sea lions, along with Wilhelm, are in their original, renovated exhibits.
The zoo is an agency of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resource, William G. Ross Jr., Secretary: Michael F. Easley, Governor.
