Assiniboine Park Zoo is justifiably proud of their star residents: polar bears. You will be thrilled to watch them from the Gateway to the Artic viewing deck or from the glass tunnel while they swim overhead. A popular section is the Churchill Coast were the enormous Artic bears stroll along their native tundra. This is Storm who was scratching an itch. He was born in the wild in 2010. Storm could reach a weight of 1,500 pound and be over nine feet tall.
