Memphis Zoo is part of a species survival plan. Polar bear breeding in Memphis is very important since polar bears are disappearing in the wild. Our exhibit is temp controlled & polar bear approved. The water is chilly and they have cooling rocks. Their night area is also chilly

RED PANDA POUNCES! Keepers say this is how Mars and Lucy play. It’s a good sign for breeding because it’s a way they bond. More often then not the pair will breed when no one is around, but seeing things like this is promising!
