The polar bear habitat features a 1.32-acre yard with two pools including a brackish water still pool that is 167,000 gallons. The water will be kept between 55 and 65 degrees year-round due to underground geothermal tanks. The habitat offers viewing of the bears from above, at eye-level, and below beneath four feet of water. The windows are 5" thick acrylic.

Cool stuff. I saw the Polar Bears in the snow at Central Park Zoo in NYC - very cool place in the winter. Snow leopards where in the house and snow monkeys having a snow ball fight. That's the most times I've said snow in a sentence.
