Detroit Zoo Converted Three Bear Habitats

According to WILX-TV 10, the Detroit Zoo announced it has converted three bear habitats into one collective environment, more than doubling the space shared by three rescued grizzly bears.

According to the Detroit Zoological Society, the new area includes a cave and a variety of nooks that provide more options for bears to move around.

The significantly larger space at the zoo in Royal Oak has helped to expand the bears ability to sense what's happening around them.

The bear den was one of the first animal habitats to open when the Detroit Zoo opened in 1928.
