This sculpture depicts an adult Polar Bear atop a stone column. Though the size is smaller than life-size the proportions and pose are accurate to allow guests to get an idea of the real animal. 

The Polar Bear sculpture is made from bronze. 

This sculpture was made possible through a gift to the NC Zoo Society in memory of Thomas W. Young by his loving wife, Frances. Tom’s volunteerism and devotion to the Zoo continue to inspire.
The Polar Bear sculpture is located in Rocky Coast within North America.
